| [AnNahar] A Saudi soldier has been killed in a barrage of mortar and other fire along the border with Yemen, the interior ministry said on Monday. The soldier is the eighth to die since warplanes from a Saudi-led coalition on March 26 began air strikes in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... to stop a southern advance by Iran-backed Houthis. The air campaign has sparked exchanges of fire along the border region between Yemen and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , where all the kingdom's casualties have occurred. Army troops and members of the Border Guards force "were subjected to heavy shooting and mortar shells from inside the Yemeni border" at 11:00 PM (2000 GMT) Sunday in Saudi Arabia's Najran region, the official Saudi Press Agency said, citing the interior ministry front man. "The Saudi side responded and the situation was brought under control," the front man said, adding that two other security personnel were maimed and taken to hospital. Saudi Arabia has reinforced the border with artillery, tanks and hilltop lookout posts to block the incursion of any Huthis from their traditional highland stronghold just over the border. |
