Houthis destroy Saudi tanks, Humvees
2009-11-20
The Houthi fighters say they have destroyed several Saudi Arabian military vehicles as Riyadh continues targeting Houthis north of Yemen.

The Shia fighters say they have destroyed six Humvees (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) and three tanks in the northern provinces of Omran and Harf Sufyan.

On Wednesday, the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of relentless missile attacks and artillery fire against civilians on the Yemeni soil.

The Saudis reportedly fired over 150 missiles and carried out 18 airstrikes.

Yemeni and Saudi forces have been jointly pounding the Houthis who have taken arms in protest to the Sunni-dominated Sana'a government's repression and discrimination against the country's Shia minority.

Saudi Arabia claims its forces have been striking Yemeni fighters who have taken refuge in its border territory, but the Houthis accuse the Saudi army of bombarding villages deep into the Yemeni soil.

The massive offensive has claimed the lives of large numbers of people, including women and children.
