A report says Yemeni sharpshooters killed as many as 64 Saudi troops in April, in counterstrikes against the kingdom’s two-year-plus invasion of the impoverished country.
Yemen’s al-Masirah television network carried the report on Friday, saying the troops had been killed in ambushes by Yemeni army snipers targeting the kingdom of Jizan, Najran and al-Asir border regions.
It said added that 47 were caused in Jizan, nine in Najran and eight in Asir.
The Yemeni army, backed by Houthi (Ansarlluah) fighters and popular forces, has been returning the Saudi invasion, launched in March 2015 to restore Yemen’s former Saudi-allied government to power.
The campaign, which has claimed over 12,000 civil lives, has fallen short of its stated aims.
On Thursday, the army killed three Saudi forces in rocket and artillery attacks against their positions in Yemen’s northwestern Hajjah Province.
Meanwhile, Saudi aggression warplanes targeted various provinces in Ta’izz Province in Yemen’s south nine times over the past hours.
