At least three Saudi soldiers were killed in clashes with Shia Houthi fighters near Saudi Arabia’s southern border with Yemen, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported Thursday.
The news agency did not, however, provide any additional details regarding the time or circumstances of the soldiers’ deaths.
Yemen has remained dogged by violence since 2014, when the Houthi Ansarullah movement backed by the popular committees took control of the country, including capital Sana’a.
In 2015, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies launched a wide-ranging military campaign aimed at reversing Houthi gains and shoring up the resigned pro-Saudi regime of former Yemeni President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi
The campaign has seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. In its tallies released in last February, Yemen’s Legal Center for Rights and Development said the Saudi war had killed over 12,000 civilians, including 2,568 kids.
