Coalition forces arrest “air defense” soldiers in Marib

MARIB, July 12 (YPA) – Saudi-led coalition forces on Saturday night launched a massive arrest campaign targeting the air defense soldiers loyal to them in Marib city, against the backdrop of intercepting a US drone in the city’s sky.

Ali bin Mohsin Salah, an officer in the so-called general staff of Hadi government forces, said in a post on Facebook on Sunday that the coalition forces arrested a number of air defense officers and soldiers of Al-Matereh camp in the city of Marib after firing at an American drone thinking it a droning plane belonging to Sanaa’s forces.

Salah explained that the coalition forces informed their recruits that the planes were friendly planes and not an enemy, as he said.
