An Emirati soldier was killed in Yemen.

First Sergeant Zakaria Sulaiman Obaid Al Zaabi was killed during the Saudi-led aggression to restore the former regime of Yemen.

The death was announced on Thursday by the General Command of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces. No other details were released.

The UAE is a leading member of the coalition in a nearly two-year campaign against the Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries in Yemen.

The coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen since March 2015.

The offensive has claimed 11,403 lives and left 19,343 others wounded, according to figures compiled by the Legal Center for Rights and Development, a Yemeni non-governmental monitoring group.
