Five Saudi soldiers killed in Jizan region‏

At least five Saudi Arabian soldiers were killed in two days near the kingdom’s border with war-torn Yemen, the official SPA news agency reported Sunday.

SPA did not provide details about the circumstances of the deaths but said the soldiers lost their lives in the southern Jizan region.

Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition that launched a massive air campaign in 2015 against Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who overran much of Yemen a year earlier. The Saudi-led Arab Coalition came to restore the internationally recognised government of Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
