The Yemeni military media on Thursday announced heavy losses of Saudi-led coalition forces and militias loyal to them in the west coast battle.

The military media center said that those photos were taken during repelling a large infiltration of the coalition forces toward the north of Khokha district on the international coastal road in the Yemeni west coast.

The coalition forces are trying to carry out suicide attacks to prove their existence on the west coast in conjunction with a fierce media campaign to create confusion among Yemenis, the center added.

The center noted that the coalition media campaign promotes for what it called victories and military advances on the airport and port of Hodeidah at a time its forces are still fighting desperately in the vicinity of Khokha.

During the past two days, several armored vehicles of the coalition and its troops have managed to penetrate the international coastline through the outskirts of Tuhaita district and reached al-Jiah area of Durayhemi district, about 80 kilometers south of Hodeidah city.

"The armored vehicles, which penetrated the coastline, fell into a big trouble after failing to retreat," a military official in the Yemeni army said.

The army burned a number of those armored vehicles, the official added.

Saudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate the former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.

More than 12,000 people have been killed since the onset of the campaign more than two and a half years ago. Much of the Arabian Peninsula country's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war.
