Houthi snipers yesterday killed six Saudi Arabian soldiers near the Hajjar province which lies along the Yemen-Saudi border, reported Al Masdar.

Since 2015, Saudi Arabia entered the Yemen to reinstate President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi who had lost control of the country’s capital, Sana’a, to Houthi fighters.

A Saudi-led coalition has used airstrikes to support militias backed by Hadi and international troops to recapture the northern part of the country and stop the Houthi advance to the south.
