Three Saudi soldiers were killed in clashes with Yemen’s Shiite Houthi rebels along the kingdom’s southern border as a three-week conflict between a coalition led by the kingdom and the Shiite group shows no sign of abating.
Houthi gunmen fired mortar shells on a border control site in the Najran province Friday, killing the three soldiers and wounding two others, the official Saudi Press Agency reported Saturday, citing a Defense Ministry official it didn’t identify. The incident brings to six the number of Saudi military personnel killed since the kingdom launched airstrikes against the Houthis and their allies last month.
