The Yemeni army and popular committees killed five Saudi soldiers in the regions of Asir and Jizan, a military official said Wednesday.
The official confirmed in a statement that snipers of the army and committees shot dead four Saudi soldiers in al-Rabua’a area of Asir region and another soldier in al-Khuba of Jizan region.
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.
