Saudi Arabia moves to discharge northern fighters from Hadramout

HADRAMOUT,  Feb. 10 (YPA) – Saudi Arabia on Tuesday began new steps to discharge the remaining soldiers from northern governorates serving in Hadramout province, eastern Yemen

Media outlets, citing military sources in the First Military Region stationed in the Wadi and desert areas of Hadramout, reported that Riyadh had decided to dismiss all personnel originating from northern governorates. Those troops were reportedly transferred to Marib.

Saudi Arabia had earlier appointed Fahd Bamoumin as commander of the First Military Region.

Bamoumin also leads what is known as the Second Division of the Saudi-backed ” Dera Al-Watan,” whose members are all from Hadramout and which was formed on a regional basis by Saudi Arabia.
