A senior military commander said Saudi Arabia has asked for reinforcement troops from the Bahraini army to fight and stop the Yemeni revolutionary forces crossing the border into the kingdom. “Saudi Arabia has asked for help from Bahrain to fight along the border regions,” Senior Ansarullah Commander Ali al-Hamzani told FNA on Saturday. The Yemeni troops have crossed the border into Saudi Arabia and captured several commander centers and bases in the last few weeks. Al-Hamzani also added that the Saudi army’s military positions in al-Tawwal region were badly damaged when they came under the Yemeni missile attacks.
On Thursday, Saudi Arabia confirmed that five Saudi army soldiers had been killed in separate clashes with fighters of the Yemeni popular forces in its Southern border regions of Dhahran Janoub, Jizan and Asir. Major General Mahya al-Otaibi, Jizan Border Guard chief, said that conscript Musa bin Mohammed Daeli was killed in Dhahran al-Janoub region near the border with Yemen’s mountainous Northwestern province of Sa’ada. Major General Nasser bin Saleh Aldojse, Jizan police chief, added that officer Hamoud Mohammed Awaji was killed in clashes in the Southern flank of Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of the National Guard Mutaib bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud said a soldiers was critically wounded during a heavy exchange of gunfire in the al-Rabu’ah town of the southwestern Asir region. The three senior Saudi officials, however, did not provide any information about the time when three soldiers were killed and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Arabic-language Saudi Arabian daily newspaper Okaz also reported that officer Ahmed bin Hassan Atif was killed in the southern part of the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since last March to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 10,800 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children. Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures. According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster.
