71 Saudi soldiers killed over past weeks in border fronts

SANAA, June 7 (YPA) – At least 71 of Saudi soldiers were killed including high-ranking leaders in military operations carried out by the Yemeni army backed by and popular committees in several border fronts of Jizan, Najran and Asir over the past few weeke, according to statistic released by the military media.

A statistic of military media from the official and unofficial Saudi media showed that the casualties of the Saudi regime’s army have doubled over the past few weeks.

The real numbers of dead and wounded of the Saudi army exceed what has been announced in the Saudi media, because the Saudi regime deliberately withheld its losses for the fifth consecutive year of its aggression against Yemen, State News Agency quoted a military official as saying

The official noted that although the Saudi regime deliberately removed its soldiers from the fighting and relied on its mercenaries from Sudan and Yemen, the Saudi Arabian army has suffered a heavy loss of lives continuously during the ongoing operations of the army and the popular committees.
