Yemeni retaliatory attacks left 45 Saudi soldiers dead in February: Report
Tehran (KNA) - A recent report has revealed that Yemeni army soldiers and fighters from allied Popular Committees killed and injured dozens of Saudi soldiers in the kingdom’s southwestern border regions in February as part of their retaliatory raids against the Riyadh regime’s aerial bombardment campaign.
Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah television network, citing unnamed Yemeni military sources, reported that Yemeni forces and their allies fatally shot 45 troopers in the regions of Jizan, Najran and Asir last month.
Another 19 sustained injuries in retaliatory attacks as well.
The report came only a day after Yemeni army soldiers and Popular Committees fighters shot and killed a Saudi soldier at al-Hajlah military camp in Najran, located about 844 kilometers south of Saudi Arabia's capital city of Riyadh.
Yemeni forces and their allies also targeted another Saudi trooper on the outskirts of Qamar village in Jizan, located 966 kilometers south of Riyadh.
