Yemeni Forces Take Control of Saudi Strategic Military Base in Najran Province

The Yemeni army and popular forces took control of a strategic military base in the province of Najran, Southern Saudi Arabia.

The Yemeni forces captured al-Shabaka military base in Al-Sharafa region in Najran province on Saturday evening.

“The Yemeni forces seized three Abrams tanks from the Saudi army in Al-Shabaka military base,” a commander of the popular forces Hadi al-Rotabi said on Saturday.

On Tuesday, the Yemeni forces fired a barrage of rockets at the main Saudi military base in the province of Jizan, Southern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

The Yemeni forces fired several rockets at the main military base in the al-Khobe district of Jizan in retaliation for the kingdom’s aggression against their nation.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 242 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,969 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.

Daesh claims killing 50 Yemeni soldiers

The Yemeni army earlier said Al Qaeda had launched the attacks on army positions near the town of Shibam, and that 12 soldiers and 19 militants were killed.

The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for attacks on the army in southeast Yemen on Friday, after the military had blamed Al Qaeda for the assaults that cost dozens of lives.

The Daesh said in a statement, quoted by SITE monitoring group, that 50 Yemeni troops were killed in multi-pronged attacks including a suicide bombing and clashes in Hadramawt province.

The Yemeni army earlier said Al Qaeda had launched the attacks on army positions near the town of Shibam, and that 12 soldiers and 19 militants were killed.

Medics later said the army lost 15 men and that several civilians were wounded. Hadramawt province is a stronghold of Al Qaeda whose militants control its capital Mukalla.

The Daesh group is also present in Yemen feeding on chaos in the country where a Saudi-led Arab coalition has been battling Iran-backed Houthi rebels opposed to the government.

Both Al Qaeda and Daesh are visibly present in Yemen’s second city Aden, where the Saudi-backed government has set up a temporary headquarters after the Houthis took over the capital Sanaa.

The Daesh said its operation on Friday targeted “three barracks of the apostate Yemeni army” on a road near Shibam in Hadramawt, SITE reported.

The Daesh said its fighters seized the barracks, killing or wounding those inside and that later a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-packed car into army reinforcements sent to the area. The statement claimed that in all 50 soldiers were killed and said that clashes with Yemeni troops were still underway. – AFP

Yemeni Missiles Hit Pro-Hadi Positions in Ma’rib as Fugitive PM Arrives

The Yemeni Forces pounded the pro-Hadi militias’ positions in Ma’rib with a barrage of missiles after Yemen’s former fugitive Prime Minister Khaled Bahah entered the province.

The Yemeni army and Ansarullah fighters hit several positions in Ma’rib province after Bahah entered Safer region in Ma’rib from the Sharoura region in Saudi Arabia.

On Saturday, Ansarullah fighters and army troops took a strategic mountain in Ma’rib from the Saudi-backed militants.

The Yemeni forces gained full control over Al-Ashqari mountain in Ma’rib.
