Yemen’s army forces Spokesman Yahya Sarie said in a statement on Friday that the army captured over153 Saudi-led coalition’s paid fighters in an attack on strategic sites in Serwah district of Marib province.

“The attack targets sites of the militias in a mountainous chain of Hailan, Attias and positions of Zaid al-Aqil and Al-Alam overlooking Marib city, also killing and wounding dozens of the militias, including leaders,” said the spokesman.

Sarie affirmed that the army targeted a number of the military vehicles of the paid fighters, killed and wounded their crew members in the attack.

Brigadier General Yahia Sari added” the operation comes in response to the coalition’s military escalation and its mercenaries in Nehm front.”

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 60,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
