Yemen's armed forces thwarted a Saudi-backed advance south of Bab al-Mandab, causing heavy casualties Yemen's armed forces spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Sari, announced in a statement Tuesday afternoon that Yemeni forces repelled an attempted advance by Saudi-backed forces approaching south of Bab al-Mandab. According to him, the forces operated under the supervision of the Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi, commander of the forward operations base in Aden. According to Sari, Yemeni forces targeted the advancing forces with several ballistic missiles and heavy weapons, causing a large number of casualties and prompting ambulances to rush to the target areas. The Yemeni fighters also destroyed several military vehicles, thus succeeding in thwarting the advance. Sari warned those recruited by the Saudi forces against following orders from Saudi officers, who he said were sending them to their deaths.
