The Yemen army and Popular Committees forces have achieved a qualitative progress on the border with Saudi Arabia and seized control over new sites oversees the kingdom's territory.

Army and Committees sources confirmed to AL-Manar TV that the national military has fully controlled the Al-Shurfa area on the border with Saudi province of Najran after storming the military post in the region and its checkpoint.

The sources added that Al-Shurfa is a strategic site overlooking the Najran province, which allows the Yemeni fighters to establish control over it using medium weapons.

In a similar development, the Yemeni army forces and the Popular Committees stormed the Saudi al-Hajer military site and destroyed the control tower inside it after all garrison fled away

Saudi Arabia is launching a wide-scale military campaign against Yemen and  it has been striking the impoverished nation for the last 144 days to restore power to fugitive president Abed-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 5,419 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
