Yemeni forces have destroyed a number of Saudi military vehicles in a retaliatory attack on Saudi Arabia's positions in the southwestern province of Jizan, PressTV reported.

According to media outlets on Sunday, the Yemeni army, backed by popular committees, destroyed the vehicles in the area of al-Khobe.

The joint forces carried off as booty a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), also known as Humvee, in the retaliatory attack.

In addition to Jizan, the Yemeni forces also targeted several military bases in the southwestern province of Dhahran al-Janoub, south of the Asir region.

Heavy clashes also erupted between Yemeni forces and Saudi soldiers in Yemen's northwestern province of Sa'ada.

Brigadier General Ahmed Assiri, a Saudi military spokesperson, said on August 26 that the Saudi troops have pushed their way into the northern Yemeni regions that overlook Jizan. Assiri said the Saudi soldiers have taken some areas under their control in the process.
