At least three soldiers from the Saudi-led coalition were killed over the past 24 hours during retaliatory military operations by Yemeni armed forces.
An Emirati trooper, Abdullah al-Hosani, was killed on Thursday, the UAE’s official WAM news agency reported, citing the general command of the country’s armed forces.
The report did not mention the location of the incident or how it happened.
Separately, the al-Masirah TV reported that Yemeni forces fired missiles at a gathering of Saudi troops in the kingdom’s southwestern Najran region, killing two of them. The deaths were also reported by Saudi media.
The UAE is one of Saudi Arabia’s main partners in its destructive military campaign against Yemen.
The coalition began bombing Yemen in March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Houthi movement.
But without achieving any of the stated military objectives, the campaign devastated the country’s infrastructure, killing over 12,000 people including many women and children.
