SANAA (Dispatches) -- At least five Saudi-paid Sudanese soldiers were killed when Yemeni army troops and fighters from allied Popular Committees launched an attack in the country’s strategic western province of Hudaydah on Saturday.
A military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Saudi mercenaries were traveling on board two military vehicles in Al-Tuhayat district, when they came under attack. Earlier this month, Houthi spokesman Muhammad Abdul-Salam referred to the deaths of several Sudanese mercenaries in Hudaydah, saying they were the "victims of their government being on the payroll.”
