Saudi Arabian King Salman said personnel serving on the front lines of the war in Yemen will be given one month’s extra pay to reward “their sacrifices” in the conflict.
The money will be given to employees from the defense and interior ministries, as well as the national guard, according to a royal decree released by the official Saudi Press Agency on Sunday. The report didn’t disclose how much the government would pay in total. The cost of the Yemen war is adding to the kingdom’s financial woes as it grapples with the plunge of oil prices.
