HAJJAH, Sept. 23 (YPA) – Hajjah province fronts on Sunday witnessed a noisy fiery night as a result of missile and artillery bombardment and ground attacks of the Yemeni army on Saudi-led coalition forces’ positions, which left heavy losses in their ranks.

According to a military source, the army and popular committees fired four Zilzal-1 rockets and artillery shells at the coalition mercenaries’ gatherings south of Hiran front.

The four-rocket attack was the fifth on Sunday, as it was preceded by launching a Zilzal-1 missile and artillery shells at the coalition gatherings east of al-Nar mountain, which resulted in several dead and wounded in ranks of the coalition troops.

“The army units and committees carried out a raid on the positions of the coalition forces south of Hiran, leaving dead and wounded in their ranks,” the source said in a press statement.
