Saudi Arabia has said that two of its soldiers were killed in fighting against Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries.
The official SPA news agency reported late Saturday that two soldiers from the national guards were killed “during their participation on the southern border” — a reference normally used for the fighting in Yemen against the Houthis.
SPA, however, did not provide details on when or how the two soldiers were killed.
A Saudi-led Arab coalition has been fighting in Yemen since March 2015 against the Houthi revolutionaries with the goal of forcefully reinstating the resigned regime of former President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The three-year conflict has left nearly 10,000 people dead and more than 55,000 wounded, according to the World Health Organization.
More than 2,200 others have died from cholera and millions are on the verge of famine in what the United Nations says is the world’s gravest humanitarian crisis.
