Two Saudi troops killed in Yemen counterattacks
Two Saudi troops have been killed in attacks carried out by Yemen's army soldiers and allied fighters against targets inside the kingdom, the al-Masirah television network says.
A Saudi officer was killed by sniper fire at the al-Karas military base in the southwestern Jizan region on Thursday, while rocket fire killed a policeman in Dhahran al-Janub in the Asir region late Wednesday.
Saudi Arabia's civil defense department said the second attack also left a civilian wounded. Department spokesman, Colonel Mohammed Abdulrahim al-Asemi, identified the slain policeman as Mubarak bin Saleh al-Qahtani.
Over the past two years, at least 128 Saudis have been killed in the country's south, some in skirmishes on the Yemeni border and others in retaliatory rocket fire.
The Saudi regime has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in a bid to reinstall the country’s former government and crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The military aggression has destroyed much of Yemen's infrastructure. It has also claimed the lives of over 11,400 Yemenis, including women and children, according to the latest tally by a Yemeni monitoring group.
Britain and the US have largely contributed to the Saudi campaign by providing huge amounts of arms and military training to kingdom’s military.
