Saudi-led Coalition Repels Several Attacks, Kill Dozens Of Houthi Fighters In Western Yemen

Map of the situation around Hays during December 2017

On March 7, fighters loyal to Saudi-backed Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi repelled several attacks by the Houthis on their positions in the southern part of the Hays district in the western province of al-Hudaydah, according to the UAE-based al-Arabiya TV. Pro-Hadi fighters supported by Apache attack helicopters of the Saudi-led coalition killed 30 Houthi members.

The Hays district was captured by the Saudi-led coalition and pro-Hadi forces on December 10, 2017. The district is one of the key positions in western Yemen as it overlooks the highway toward thh al-Hudaydah port.

In response to the Houthis’ attacks on Hays, Saudi-led coalition warplanes conducted a series of airstrikes on positions, camps, ammo depots and headquarters of the Houthis in the districts of al-Jarrahi and Tuhayat, south of Hays.

Al-Arabiya said that more than 100 Houthis fighters had been killed and dozens others had been injured in the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes.

The Saudi-led coalition stepped up its aerial operations in western Yemen in January after the Houthis had managed to besiege its forces south of the city of al-Hudaydah. Due to this, the Houthis have not been able to recapture any position there so far.

Fake news. Last time they claimed they killed 10,000 Ansar’Allah (aka Houthi) fighters.

Do you know what the total cost of the war within Yemen has been……13,000. So yeah, SouthFront, change the title to “FAKE NEWS”.

I don’t know why southfront posts fake news sometimes, I’m mean southfront should post both sites news to make it clear . if they don’t have any prove of video 30 houtie fighters dead , that means its not more then 3 or 4 houties dead the rest might be the civilians

Don't read butthurt replies

Stay strong Houthis!
