Yemenhe Yemeni army and the Popular Committees forces fought off on Friday a large crawl by the Saudi-US attacking forces towards Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a Yemeni military source said.

Speaking to sttae-run nes agency SABA, the source stated that the Saudi-led coalition units tried to sneak into Bab al-Mandeb strait, with the help of heavy fire cover by the aggression warplanes and warships.

"The army and the Committees fought them off and managed to break their crawl," he said, adding that the attacking troops were forced to retreat after being inflicted heavy losses.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 197 days now to restore power to fugitive President Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,433 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Yemeni military, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
