\n\t\t\tAn unnamed military source told Yemen\u2019s official news agency SABA that Yemeni forces shot and killed five Saudi troops\u00a0in the\u00a0al-Asha\u00a0and al-Shorfa\u00a0areas of the region, located 969 kilometers south of the capital, Riyadh, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tYemeni soldiers and Popular Committees fighters\u00a0launched two rockets against Saudi army outposts in the Rajla, al-Sadid and Lesser al-Makhrouq\u00a0areas of the same Saudi region. There were no immediate reports of casualties.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLater, Yemeni soldiers and their allies fired a barrage of artillery rounds at the al-Karas\u00a0military base, leaving scores of Saudi soldiers dead and injured.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSeparately, several Saudi soldiers lost their lives or sustained injuries when Yemeni forces targeted a gathering of Saudi troopers in al-Sharqan\u00a0military base.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAdditionally, five Saudi-sponsored militiamen were fatally shot in different districts of Yemen’s southwestern\u00a0province of Ta’izz.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tYemeni soldiers and their allies also struck the position of Hadi loyalists east of Kahboub\u00a0region in the same Yemeni province, killing two of them.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIn Yemen’s central\u00a0province of Ma’rib, army forces and fighters from Popular Committees launched a number of artillery rounds in the Wadi\u00a0al-Ziq\u00a0area of Sirwah district, killing and wounding a number of them.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tYemeni snipers also shot and killed seven Saudi mercenaries in different parts of Ma\u2019rib province.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSaudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate Hadi, a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMore than 12,000 people have been killed since the onset of the campaign more than two and a half years ago. Much of the Arabian Peninsula country’s infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Saudi-led war has also triggered a deadly cholera epidemic across Yemen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAccording to the World Health Organization\u2019s\u00a0latest count, the cholera outbreak has killed 2,167 people since the end of April and is suspected to have infected 841,906.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn November 26, the United Nations children\u2019s agency (UNICEF) said that more than 11 million children in Yemen were in acute need of aid, stressing that it was estimated that every 10 minutes a child died of a preventable disease there.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAdditionally, the UN has described the current level of hunger in Yemen as \u201cunprecedented,\u201d emphasizing that 17\u00a0million people are now food insecure in the country.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt added that 6.8 million, meaning almost one in four people, do not have enough food and rely entirely on external assistance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tA recent survey showed that\u00a0almost one third of families had gaps in their diets, and hardly ever consumed foods like pulses, vegetables, fruit, dairy products or meat.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMore than\u00a03 million pregnant and nursing women and children under 5 also need support to prevent or cure malnutrition.<\/p>\n
