'Yemen tribesmen kill 18 Houthi fighters in ambush' | Zee News
Sanaa: Armed tribesmen killed 18 Houthi fighters in an ambush in Yemen`s central province of Ibb on Tuesday, residents said, in one of the deadliest ground attacks in over two months of war.

The attack hit a convoy of militiamen and allied Army troops in the town of Qaeda while they were en route to the city of Taiz, a flashpoint of clashes between Yemen`s dominant Houthis and armed backers of exiled president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

Farther south in Dhalea province, around 15 Houthi fighters were killed in heavy clashes with pro-Hadi fighters on Monday night.

A coalition of Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia, seeking to restore Hadi to power, has carried out over nine weeks of air strikes on Houthi fighters who have seized large parts of Yemen.

The Houthis, members of a Shi`ite sect hailing from a Yemen`s far north, seized the capital in September and fanned out southward, triggering the Arab military intervention.

They describe their spread as a revolution and a victory against corruption, but Sunni Muslim Gulf Arab states worry that they are a proxy for the influence of their regional Shi`ite rival Iran.

Saudi-led air strikes hit Houthi positions along Yemen`s far northern border with the kingdom and struck military bases aligned with the group in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday.

Residents of Yemen`s far northern province of al-Jawf said five suspected al Qaeda members were killed in a suspected American drone strike on two cars in a frontline battle area between the Houthis and Sunni tribesmen.

The United States fears that the political chaos in Yemen could strengthen al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the deadliest branch of the global militant group. It has kept up its aerial bombings on the group`s operatives.

As the Houthis and their army allies have spread into some majority Sunni areas in Yemen, local tribesmen have in some cases joined forces with al Qaeda militants, bolstering the group`s influence in local affairs.

Neighbouring Oman, a neutral power, is mediating talks between Houthi and American officials in the capital Muscat aimed at ending Yemen`s conflict.

The dialogue also led Yemeni authorities to release to Oman on Monday a detained American freelance journalist.

Yemeni politicians say the discussions are narrowing ground between Yemen`s exiled government and the Houthis and may soon pave the way for more formal United Nations-backed negotiations.

Are you comparing Al Jazeera with IRIB and Al Alam?
Because I think there is a big gap in credibility and reliability between Al Jazeera and those channels...If you think you have a documentary that could help us to understand the situation of Yemen, then submit it here.

Saudi Arabia says shoots down Scud missile fired by Yemen's Houthis | Zee News
Last Updated: Saturday, June 6, 2015 - 11:56

Cairo: Saudi Arabia shot down a Scud missile fired into the kingdom by Yemen`s dominant Houthi group and its army allies on Saturday, according to the Saudi state news agency, in the first use of the missile in over two months of war.


The missile was launched early Saturday morning in the direction of Khamees al-Mushait, and was intercepted by a Patriot missile, a statement by the leadership of the Saudi-led joint Arab military coalition said.

The area is home to largest air force base in southern Saudi Arabia, the world`s top oil exporter, but there are no oil facilities in the area.

An alliance of Gulf Arab nations has been bombing Yemen`s dominant Houthi militia and allied army units loyal to powerful ex-President Saleh since March 26 in an attempt to restore exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power.

The coalition has said a main goal of their war effort is to neutralize the threat that rockets in Yemen pose to Saudi Arabia and its neighbours.

Arab airstrikes have pounded arms and missile stores in the capital Sanaa and other military bases in Yemen almost every day, but the firing of the Scud - an 11-metre (35-foot) long ballistic missile with ranges of 300 km (200 miles) and more - shows the country`s supply has not yet been eliminated.

Saleh, Yemen`s autocrat president from 1978 to 2012, was forced to step down amid Arab Spring street protests but retains most the army`s loyalty and has joined forces with the Houthis in combat with Hadi`s armed backers in Yemen`s south.

Saudi-owned Arabiya described overnight ground fighting along its border as the "largest attack" yet by Houthi forces and Yemen`s republican guard, a unit close to Saleh.

"It was the first confrontation undertaken by Saleh`s (Republican) guard, and coalition planes and Saudi Apache (helicopters) undertook ground fire for 10 hours," a military spokesman told the network.

Saudi-led forces said on Friday that four Saudi troops, including an officer, were killed after an attack was launched from the Yemeni side on border areas in Jizan and Najran.

Four Saudi forces killed in attack on border from Yemen| Reuters
Saudi-led forces said on Friday four Saudis were killed after an attack was launched on border areas in Jizan and Najran by forces loyal to former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh and Houthi rebels.

A statement on the official Saudi news agency SPA said that an attack had been launched from the Yemeni side into Saudi Arabia's Jizan and Najran areas and a battle had taken place since the early hours of Friday and until noon in which tens of Yemeni soldiers were killed.

Four Saudis were also killed in the battle, one officer from the National Guard, two ground forces officers and one border guard, the statement said.

An alliance of Gulf Arab nations has been bombing Houthi militia and allied army units that control much of Yemen since March 26 in what they say is an attempt to restore exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

Have fun with your delusions.

Perhaps.

 

[Hindustani78]

‘Scores’ of rebel forces were killed in a battle that lasted from dawn to noon yesterday, according to the agency, while four Saudi soldiers were killed in the fighting.

Scuds were developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War and were exported to several countries, including Yemen.

Reports from a website allied with Saleh says the Yemeni army possesses 300 Scud missiles, and that the majority are under the control of the Houthis and Saleh’s forces.

In February 1991, an Iraqi-fired Scud evaded a Patriot strike and hit a U.S. base in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 28 American soldiers.
