Shelling from Yemen has killed a Saudi soldier on the Kingdom’s southern border, the Interior Ministry said early Sunday. The Interior Ministry announced early Sunday the soldier's death in the kingdom's Najran region as a result of shelling and intensive fire Saturday afternoon.
A Border Guards post in Najran region came under attack as a result of shelling and intensive fire at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, killing a corporal, the ministry said.
Army troops intervened to support the Border Guards.
The corporal is the latest of more than 110 soldiers and civilians killed in southern Saudi Arabia by rocket strikes or skirmishes since a Saudi-led coalition began operations in Yemen almost two years ago.
In support of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi’s government, a Saudi-led coalition of Arab countries began a military campaign in March 2015 against the Houthi forces. It said its mission served in part as a counterbalance to Iran's influence following its nuclear deal with world powers.the alliance started air strikes after Houthi rebels and their allies overran the capital Sanaa and moved on to other parts of Yemen.
Since then, more than 7,400 people have been killed in Yemen.
