Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters, backed by allied army units, have made fresh gains in the southern Yemeni city of Aden.
According to Yemeni military officials, the Ansarullah fighters and army forces killed over a dozen militants loyal to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, in the clashes in the northern and eastern parts of the city on Thursday.
Reports also say that more than 200 people from both sides were wounded in the clashes.
Ansarullah fighters are pressing ahead with their advances in Aden to expand their control over the city.
The advances of the fighters belonging to Yemen’s Houthi movement come as Saudi Arabia continues bombing areas across Yemen.
Meanwhile, Saudi fighter jets targeted the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada, pounding residential areas and a girls’ school there, but there have been no immediate reports of casualties.
Saudi Arabia has been pounding Yemen since March 26, without a United Nations mandate, with the aim of resorting power to Hadi and weakening the Ansarullah fighters.
Yemen’s Freedom House Foundation has recently said that at least 4,021 people have been killed and 7,017 others injured in the Saudi airstrikes against the impoverished Arabian Peninsula country.

…by pursuing their fruitless military interference on the Yemeni people’s right of self-determination, the Saudis risk escalating internal opposition to their already fragile monarchy.
The Saudi bombing war in Yemen also has consequently strengthened al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has gained ground in Yemen since the assault began. By targeting the Houthi fighters exclusively, the Saudis have allowed their AQAP adversary, which is financed by private Saudi funding, to increase in strength.
Even right-leaning Brookings Institute scholar Kenneth Pollack has warned that “greater Saudi intervention in Yemen is unlikely to improve the situation and could easily undermine the Kingdom’s own security and stability over the medium to longer term.” In short, Saudi Arabia’s “Operation Decisive Storm” is not only proving to be indecisive, but also is backfiring on its perpetrator.
So despite the public facade, the one and only reason for the Saudi aggression against the Houthis in Yemen is to prevent a popular uprising from spilling over into the kingdom and gathering momentum.
However, by continuing their relentless assault on Yemen, the Saudis are assuring that their campaign will indeed backfire by inspiring opposition forces within the kingdom to close ranks and exercise their right of self-determination.
