Saudi Arabia says 2 soldiers killed in Yemen fighting
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi Arabia says that two of its soldiers were killed in fighting against Yemen’s Houthi rebels as the kingdom reported foiling a drone attack on a southern airport.
The official SPA news agency reports that two soldiers from the national guards were killed “during their participation on the southern border” — a reference normally used for the fighting in Yemen against the Iran-backed Houthis.
SPA however has not provided details on when or how the two soldiers were killed but said senior officials took part in their funerals.
A Saudi-led Arab coalition has been fighting in Yemen since March 2015 against the Houthi rebels with the goal of reinstating the internationally recognized government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
