Yemen's armed forces say they have hit Saudi-backed forces in Lahj.
Tehran, Irena -. Yemen's armed forces attacked gatherings of Saudi-backed forces on several fronts in the southern province of Laji, killing and wounding dozens of fighters.
Brigadier General Yahya Sari, a spokesman for Yemen's armed forces, said on Saturday that the strikes hit positions where Saudi-backed forces were gathering across several fronts in Laj.
According to him, the attacks were precise and direct, adding that several military vehicles were also destroyed.
The operation took place less than 24 hours after a similar attack aimed at gatherings of Saudi forces in Lah and al-Jouf provinces, resulting in a large number of casualties among fighters supported by Saudi Arabia, he said.
Sari said that the operations demonstrated the intelligence capabilities of the armed forces in Yemen in tracking the movements of opposing forces and attacking their positions.
Separately, Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Friday that Yemeni armed forces had reached the coastline connecting the southern provinces of Aden and Lah, south of the Bab al-Mandab strait.
