Yemeni forces have shot down a Saudi Apache helicopter in the kingdom’s southern Najran Province in fresh attacks in response to Riyadh’s deadly military aggression.

Yemen's al-Masirah television reported that the chopper was brought down on Thursday as it was attacking positions held by the Yemeni fighters.

The report further noted that the Yemeni forces destroyed an Abrams tank and killed five Saudi soldiers at Najran’s Qiyadah military base.

Three other Saudi soldiers lost their lives in Talah military base in Najran.

Two more Saudi tanks were destroyed in Najran’s Rajla military base and southwestern Jizan Region.

Moreover, Yemeni snipers killed Saudi soldiers in neighboring Asir Region.

Meanwhile, the Houthis and the Yemeni army took control of several positions held by Saudi mercenaries in the Sabrin neighborhood of Yemen’s northern Jawf Province.

They also thwarted an attack by Saudi mercenaries in Shabwah Province, leaving a number of the militants dead and injured.

Saudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 with the purpose of reinstalling the country’s former government and crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement. Since then, the Houthis and the Yemeni army have been defending Yemen against the Saudi offensive.

More than 11,400 Yemenis, including women and children, have been killed in the Saudi military aggression, according to the latest tally by a Yemeni monitoring group.

Hold on a second. Since when did the Houthis become 'Yemeni Army'? @waz @Oscar @Zaki this thread is contributing poisonous, negative rhetoric against one of our key allies by using insidious terminology designed to skew people's perceptions of reality.

Let's not pretend that this war is okay. The Saudis are waging the war to diminish Iranian influence and Yemen isn't the only exception in this regard. The Saudis are as guilty as the Iranians. Both are exporting their ideologies by hook or by crook.

The Saudis are our allies, but that doesn't mean that we are comfortable with the war in Yemen. We denounce it.

Press TV is not a media entity, it is Iranian propaganda mouth piece. Houthi terrorists are not Yemeni forces.

Thank God, Pakistan didn't become a part of this senseless war.

The Saudis have the moral upper ground inasmuch as they want to restore the government to the original state.

Would you have been thanking the God if the news would have been other way round ? Whats the point of thanking God seeing a country in a state of destruction and civil war, seeing people dying ?

The Saudis have no right to be interfering in Yemen just like any other country. We accuse other nations of interference and this is no different. The Saudis are dropping bombs to eliminate their adversaries which is also killing scores of innocent civilians. It is wrong. This is the reason why Pakistan distanced itself from this war in the first place.

 

[Kuwaiti Girl]

Last year, the Houthis posted videos on YouTube of Saudi helicopters getting shot down near Najran, so I wouldn't put it past them.

The Saudi military is incredibly incompetent.
