Army and popular committees foiled on Saturday two infiltration attempts by Saudi-paid mercenaries towards northern Thubab district of Taiz province, a military official said.

The official said that dozens of the invaders and their mercenaries were killed or wounded and a number of their military vehicles were destroyed during their foiled attempts to advance toward al-Jadaid, al-Kadaha and al-Khadhra areas in north of Thubab district.

These military operations function as a response to the constant war crimes committed by the US-backed Saudi coalition against Yemeni civilians since March 26 of 2015
