strikes, mercenaries and members of the Saudi National Guard fled the battlefield and Yemeni forces managed to take control of their positions and seize a&nbsp;large amount&nbsp;of ammunition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe Yemeni troops also set the armored vehicles on fire.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAnsarullah says it has recently captured 20 military sites belonging to Riyadh and its

critical targets in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were in its crosshairs.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe warning came after the Yemeni army launched retaliatory drone attacks on a major oil pumping station deep inside Saudi Arabia, forcing state crude giant Aramco to temporarily shut down the pipeline.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe ability to shoot down enemy drones and conduct drone offensives is the latest game-changing development in a years-long war by Saudi Arabia and its regional allies -- mainly the UAE.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t&nbsp;","content_html":"<p>As Reported by Qods News
