The Yemeni forces killed some 160 Saudi-led forces and injured 378 others in Ma’rib Province over the past two days in retaliation for the kingdom’s aggression against their nation.
A military source said on Thursday that the Yemeni forces have inflicted heavy losses on the Saudi-led military contingent in the Sirwah district in Ma’rib, which lies about 120 kilometers (75 miles) East of the capital, Sana’a.
The source added that the Saudi-led forces were killed when Yemeni army troopers and their allies engaged them near the Kofel military camp.
The source also told Yemen’s Saba news agency that Saudi warplanes have conducted a number of sorties over Kofel district, Sirwah market as well as Jebel Hilan, and purportedly dropped a number of phosphorus bombs across Sirwah.
The source said Yemeni army and Popular Committees are making further headway in the fight against the Saudi forces, praising tribesmen from Ma’rib for their support for the Yemeni forces.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 197 days now to restore power to Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,484 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

Yemeni army and popular committees fired missiles at a Saudi warship, and destroyed it in Bab al-Mandab Strait.
The warship was wrecked off the Southwestern coast of Yemen, in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
Other Saudi battleships fled the area following the attack.
The sunken ship had repeatedly fired rockets on residential areas in Ta’iz province, inflicting casualties and destruction there.
Earlier, the Yemeni forces attacked a Saudi military base in the kingdom’s province of Jizan, killing a soldier in retaliation for Riyadh’s aggression against their nation. The Saudi Interior Ministry has confirmed the death of the trooper.
