Yemeni troops have carried out major retaliatory attacks against separate locations in southwestern Saudi Arabia, killing as many as 13 Saudi forces.
Six of the fatalities occurred at the al-Fuaz military base in the Saudi region of Najran, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported on Sunday.
Yemeni forces also struck a military vehicle carrying three Saudi troops on their way to the Alib command post in the kingdom’s Asir region. Four more Saudi troopers died in another attack against the outpost.
