Coalition jets launch over 60 raids on rebels
Arab coalition warplanes launched more than 60 raids against coup rebel positions in the central Marib governorate in one day while they continued their attacks against the insurgents in Taiz.The raids targeted positions of the Iranian-backed Houthis and their allies in the Western and Southern hills surrounding Sirwah town in Marib, the Saudi 'Al Arabiya' news network said. In a report from conflict-battered Yemen, it said coalition jets also pounded rebel targets in the Southwestern Taiz city to back an offensive by the national army and the resistance to expel the insurgents from the governorate. “The raids in Taiz targetted the Army Brigade 35 camp, the central prison area and the Eastern outskirts of the city,” the report said. It quoted military sources as saying the army and resistance fighters pressed on with their ground attacks against the rebels in Taiz and advanced in Al Rahida and Dhabab fronts on Tuesday. In Merais front in the Southern Al Dale governorate, the resistance repulsed an attack by the Houthis and their allies after heavy fighting. Posted by: badanov 2015-12-10 |
