Riyadh, Saudi-occupied Arabia -- Saudi Arabia’s state news agency has reported that shelling from Yemen has killed a border guard and wounded seven as a coalition that the country leads continues to target rebels there.
The Saudi Press Agency reported late on Saturday that the Lance Cpl. Ismail Mohammed Ibrahim Sindi was killed around 6:30 pm (1530 GMT, 11:30 a.m. EDT) by the shelling targeting the country’s Jazan region. The agency said “the border guard dealt with the situation accordingly,” without elaborating.
A Saudi-led coalition has been targeting rebels in Yemen, known as Houthis, since March 26. Cross-border shelling has killed Saudi border guards and soldiers amid the campaign. |
