Sources in Saudi Arabia confirmed Saturday that the officer identified as Yahya bin Ahmad Salman Qazvani has been killed in clashes that erupted earlier in the day in the JabalJahfan region south of Jizan Province, Saudi Arabia.
According to the report, two other Saudi soldiers and three border guards were also injured in the clashes.
Reports over the past days have shown a surge in border clashes between Saudi ground forces and Yemeni fighters.
The death is the second in less than two days as another officer was killed Thursday in a landmine blast in Twaligmountain in the same Saudi province.
According to reports, Qazvani’s death raises the total number of Saudis killed in more than 80 days of Riyadh’s aggression on Yemen to at least 40. Yemeni sources, however, put the death toll much higher.
Earlier in the day, six civilians, including two women, were killed in attacks on Sa’ada Province. Saudi fighter jets also targeted residential areas in Hajjah Province.
