Several mercenaries of Riyadh killed in Yemen’s Ta’izz

Several pro-Saudi militants loyal to Yemen’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi were killed Tuesday in two separate attacks carried out by Yemeni forces in the country’s southwestern province of Ta’izz.

The mercenaries were killed in an operation conducted by the Yemeni forces backed by fighters from Popular Committees in the al-Shaqab district of the province, Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported.

Several other militants were killed in the al-Misrakh district of the same province, when the explosion of a land mine struck them.

Saudi warplanes also bombarded the house of Sheikh Hamad Abdulrahim Karami, a senior member the General People’s Congress political party, in the Naqil al-Ebel district of Ta’izz.
