‘Yemen retaliatory attacks kill 3 Saudi, 1 Emirati troopers’

The Saudi military says three of its soldiers and one from the United Arab Emirates have been killed in Yemeni rocket attacks on border areas.

A Saudi officer and a soldier were killed in Jizan on the border of Saudi Arabia, while another soldier lost his life in attacks on Asir region.

Saudi military officials have also reported the death of an Emirati soldier in attacks on the border city of Najran on Monday.

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement and allied army units carry out the attacks in reprisal for Riyadh’s aggression against their nation.

The Saudi military on Thursday confirmed that Sergeant Farhan Ahmad al-Haqvi, and Private First Class Ahmed Musa Motmi, both serving with the country’s ground forces lost their lives on Wednesday evening as rockets fired by Ansarullah fighters and members of allied Popular Committees struck the southwestern region of Jizan.

Yemen’s retaliatory rockets also claimed the life of Private First Class Ali Saeed al-Zahrani from frontier corps in the kingdom’s southwestern Asir region.

Meanwhile, the General Command of the UAE Armed Forces has confirmed the death of Officer Hazim bin Obaid al-Ali in attacks on the Saudi border city of Najran, located 844 kilometers (524 miles) south of the capital, Riyadh, on Monday.
