Fighters from Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement together with members of the allied popular resistance committees have taken control of a Saudi military base in retaliation to Riyadh’s ongoing air campaign against their country.
Ansarullah fighters and forces of the popular committees recaptured the base in the al-Makhrouq region of the southwestern Saudi province of Najran during an operation late Monday.
Several military equipment and vehicles were destroyed in the operation. The development comes as the Yemeni fighters and army allies attacked a Saudi military base near the border area of Tuwayliq in Sa’ada Province.
This is the latest in a series of attacks by Ansarullah as well as tribal forces against Saudi border positions over the past few weeks.
The Yemeni army, backed by popular committee forces, also on Monday destroyed four Saudi tanks after storming a base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern city of Jizan.
