The Yemeni forces’ sniper unit shot dead 46 paid fighters of the US-Saudi-led coalition over two days , according to  military official.

The operation took place in various fronts.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 16,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

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

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fuelled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods.

Defense Minister, Major-General Mohamed Nasser Al-Atefi, vowed to make the coalition forces much more surprised, saying that “The factors of victory and continuity of these factors in this prolonged war have been established and the enemy can not influence its outcomes and strong deterrent effectiveness.”
