A Saudi officer, known by the leader of Saudi Battalion Rapid Intervention Force, was killed on Thursday in al-Dukhan site in Jizan region, a military official said.

Two Saudi soldiers were shot dead by the army and popular committees in al-Hamra hill in Jizan region, the official added.

The Yemeni army and popular committees pounded a Saudi military vehicle in al-Dukhan military site in Jizan, killing its crew, he said.

Moreover, the missile force of the army and popular committees targeted a Saudi army position in al-Tewal outlet in Jizan.

The allied forces also pounded al-Ma’anq military site as well as other sites in Khubah city in Jizan.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
