2018-12-06
[ALMASDARNEWS] Over 20 Saudi- backed fighters were killed in a friendly fire Arclight airstrike in central Yemen, today, anti-government activists reported via social media.

According to these claims, the Saudi-backed troops were killed when a Coalition warplane bombed their allies that were waging an attack against the Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
forces in the al-Bayda Governorate.

The Saudi Coalition has yet to comment on these allegations.

Over the last 72 hours, the Saudi Coalition troops have been advancing in the al-Bayda Governorate after launching a big offensive inside the province.
