Al Arabiya correspondent reported that the Saudi forces had information in the past few days about attempts by Houthi militias and the forces of ousted Saleh to mobilize turbans in the Yemeni governorates opposite the Saudi border.

The Saudi forces were able to lure the Houthi turbans to enter within their target range to destroy those groups.

The four-hour military operations were carried out opposite al-Khashl, al-Fadna and al-Malhama mountains, by Apache helicopters and Saudi artillery.

Military sources confirmed that Saudi forces had killed at least 40 turbans and destroyed several of their military vehicles.
