80 Soldiers loyal to President Hadi killed in a Raid Launched by The Saudi-led Coalition

Yemen Times, July 7, 2015

More than 80 soldiers including high ranking military commanders were killed, and at least 100 others were injured in raids carried by the Saudi-led coalition targeting the 23rd Brigade Camp that is known to be allied with President Hadi in Alabr district in Hadramout south of Yemen on Tuesday.

“The raid targeted a military camp which is controlled by loyalist to President Hadi, commanders and leaders in the army were killed, many soldiers fled the camp fearing more strikes,” said a military source in Hadramout.

Our source, who preferred to stay anonymous for security reasons was very surprised and shocked by the coalitions’ mistake pointing out that this could lead Houthi militants and forces loyal to the Ex-president to attack Hadramout. “Their mistake can cost us a lot, it will weaken the army, soldiers were scared, they did not expect something like this to happen and might be a reason for Houthis backed by forces loyal to the former president to take control over Hadramout , they bombed the army which is supporting the president, how did they manage to do that,” he added.

Hadramout is considered one of the few provinces in the south that Houthi forces did not attack, there are no clashes on the ground between Houthi militants and Popular Resistance in the province yet.

Clashes in Al-Dalea Province Kill at Least 20 Militants

At least 20 Houthis were killed and many others were wounded in violent clashes which took place in Al-Dalea province on Saturday night and lasted until Sunday morning. According to local sources, the clashes between Houthi forces and militants from the province took place in Al-Siraw, Wadi Al-Jawf districts.

Majed Al Shuaibi, one of the journalists in the field working in the channel representing the Popular Resistance (Sawt Al Janoob) said that the shells fired by Popular Resistance between 4am and 10am killed dozens of Houthi militants. “The clashes intensified, and the fighting is still ongoing, we also suffered in these clashes but we don’t have accurate numbers of the people who died from our side,” Al Shuaibi added.

A Houthi source said, “Yes many were killed because Houthi forces were taken by surprise they did not expect such an attack, but Al-Dalea militants were stopped and many of them were killed.”

Al-Dalea Province has been witnessing violent clashes between Houthi militants and Popular Resistance since last March.

Deadly car bombs hit Yemen, day after almost 200 killed

SANAA, Reuters --

Two deadly car bombs hit the capital Sanaa and a southern city in Yemen on Tuesday, state news agency Saba reported, a day after air strike and clashes killed almost 200 people nationwide.

Islamic State in Yemen claimed responsibility in a statement posted online for the Sanaa attack, latest in a string of recent actions by the hardline Sunni Muslim group against Shi'ite Houthis who run the capital.

One of the explosives-laden cars detonated near a hospital in downtown Sanaa, which the news agency controlled by Yemen's dominant Houthi group said killed and injured "numerous" people, while another killed around 10 people in al-Bayda, capital of a province in the country's battle-weary south.

Saudi-led coalition air strikes and clashes killed at least 176 fighters and civilians in Yemen on Monday, residents and media run by the Houthi movement said, the highest daily toll since the Arab air offensive began more than three months ago.

The United Nations has been pushing for a halt to air raids and intensified fighting that began on March 26. More than 3,000 people have been killed since then as the Arab coalition tries stop the Houthis spreading across the country from the north.

The Iran-allied Shi'ite Houthis say they are rebelling against a corrupt government, while local fighters say they are defending their homes from Houthi incursions. Sunni Saudi Arabia says it is bombing the Houthis to protect the Yemeni state.

As fighting has raged across Yemen's south, the conflict has taken on a sectarian tinge, pitting the Shi'ite Houthis against local Sunni fighters who in many places fight alongside hardline al Qaeda militants, who also revile the Houthis.

"COLLAPSING"

On Monday, about 63 people were killed in air strikes on Amran province in the north, among them 30 people at a market, Houthi-controlled state media agency Saba said.

In the same province, about 20 fighters and civilians were killed at a Houthi checkpoint outside the main city, also named Amran, about 50 km (30 miles) northwest of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, local residents said.

Arab alliance war planes also killed about 60 people at a livestock market in the town of al-Foyoush in the south.

Also in the south, residents reported a further 30 killed in a raid they said apparently targeted a Houthi checkpoint on the main road between Aden and Lahj. They said 10 of the dead were Houthi fighters.

Tribal sources in the central desert province of Marib said about 20 Houthi fighters and soldiers fighting alongside them were killed in air raids and gun battles with tribal fighters, who support Yemen's president in exile Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

On Tuesday, U.N. envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed continues meetings with Houthi officials in Sanaa to try to broker a ceasefire to allow aid deliveries. One Houthi official said Monday's attacks had dealt a blow to peace efforts.
