Scores of Saudi-sponsored militiamen loyal to Yemen's former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi have lost their lives when Yemeni army soldiers and fighters from allied Popular Committees launched strikes against their position in the country’s southern province of Lahij.

Local officials and medical sources said Yemeni troops and their allies carried out several attacks using armed drones and ballistic missiles on the al-Anad military base, which is the largest base in the war-wracked country, on Sunday.

They said at least 30 Saudi-backed militants were killed and more than 50 others wounded as a result.

Yemeni armed forces and allied Popular Committees have, however, gone from strength to strength against the Saudi-led invaders, and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
