It is also reported that six members of the pro-Saudi President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi forces were also killed in the attack.
In a statement on its official Twitter account Yemen’s Popular Resistance forces said that it was “able to cleanse the area west of Taiz, after the Saudi led airstrikes killing 23 Houthis and injuring dozens and destroying two military patrols and munitions stores.”
It is also reported that six members of the pro-Saudi President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi forces were also killed in the attack.
However, Ta’iz- widely known as Yemen’s cultural center, has been under the control of Houthi fighters and allied army forces for over a year now.
Last month, the European Parliament passed a resolution, calling on EU member states to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia over high civilian casualties in Yemen.
Several human rights groups have called US to follow the EU parliament’s lead and impose an arms embargo on the kingdom since 8,400 people including 2,236 children, have been killed so by the Saudi aggression.
It is also reported that the Saudi airstrikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
However, there are allegations that several GCC countries with western green signal have been funding and supporting terrorism in some Middle East countries to take over indirect control by installing a pro-GCC government.
