发帖数: 26623 | 2 Riyadh (AFP) - A top Saudi commander and an Emirati officer were killed in
Yemen Monday during Arab coalition operations against Iran-backed rebels,
the Riyadh-led alliance said.
Saudi Colonel Abdullah al-Sahyan and Emirati officer Sultan al-Kitbi were
killed at dawn on Monday "while they were carrying out their duties in
supervising operations to liberate Taez" province in Yemen's southwest, the
official SPA news agency said.
A Yemeni officer told AFP that both officers were killed when rebels fired a
rocket at a coastal road in the strategic province, which overlooks the Bab
al-Mandab Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. | m**********2

Two senior commanders from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were
among dozens of Gulf, Yemeni and Sudanese soldiers killed in a rocket strike
in Yemen as fighting flared before Tuesday's peace talks, local media and
Yemeni sources said.
The Tochka rocket strike on a Red Sea army camp south-west of the besieged
city of Taiz early on Monday appears to be one of the bloodiest setbacks for
Gulf forces in months of fighting against Iran-allied Houthi forces and
Yemeni army units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Sultan Mohammed Ali al-Kitbi, an Emirati officer, was killed near Taiz,
Emirati state news agency WAM reported. Saudi Press Agency SPA said Colonel
Abdullah al-Sahian and Kitbi "were martyred at dawn on Monday while
shouldering their duties in overseeing operations to liberate Taiz".
Photographs of Sahian, who had been decorated by Saudi-backed Yemeni
President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi for bravery two days earlier, were
displayed by Saudi-owned al-Hadath television channel alongside Muslim
verses of mourning.
The Houthis said via their own media outlets that the two commanders were
among scores killed in a rocket attack near Bab al-Mandab on the Red Sea
coast.
A source in Hadi's forces confirmed that a rocket had been fired at
coalition forces in the Dhubab area, north of Bab al-Mandab and south-west
of the city of Taiz, adding that "tens were killed" in a camp that houses
Yemenis, Sudanese, Emiratis and Saudis.
Saudi Arabia has led an Arab coalition in a military campaign since late
March to stop the Houthis, allies of Riyadh's main regional foe Iran, from
taking complete control of Yemen after they seized the capital Sanaa last
year and advanced south towards the port city of Aden.
The Saudi-led campaign has retaken Aden and the city of Marib, east of Sanaa
, but has failed to oust the Houthis from Taiz or end attacks on the Saudi
border that have killed scores of the kingdom's soldiers.
Monday's strike was the worst reported since more than 60 Saudi and Emirati
troops were killed in September when another Tochka rocket hit the al-Safer
air base near Marib in northeastern Yemen.
The Houthis and Saleh's former political party, the General People's
Congress, are sending representatives to Switzerland on Tuesday for talks
with Yemen's internationally recognised government under President Hadi.
A seven-day renewable ceasefire is scheduled to come into effect on Monday
to coincide with the talks. Two previous ceasefire attempts, in May and July
, were followed by accusations of breaches by both sides.
Nearly 6,000 people have been killed in the conflict, almost half of them
civilians. It has also pushed Yemen to the brink of famine. | r****a
