NAJRAN, Nov. 24 (YPA) – The Yemen army on Friday repelled a large-scale attack of coalition-backed militias in Najran border province, a military official told Yemen Press Agency on Saturday.

The army targeted the militias with artillery shells during repelling their attack in Sawh area, killing and injuring dozens of the militias, said the official.

The militias’ attack was backed by air cover of Apache helicopters, spy drones and warplanes, which launched several strikes and lasted for more than 12 hours without achieving any progress.
