More than 1,000 Saudi troops killed in Yemen since war began
Since Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015, thousands of Houthi rebels have also been killed.
More than a dozen soldiers from Saudi Arabiahave been killed in Yemen during operations along the border. This brings the total number of Saudi casualties since 2015 to over 1,000, according to state media.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is worsening as the war prevents much-needed aid from reaching many Yemenis. The UN estimates that 22 million Yemenis are in need of food aid and more than eight million are threatened by severe hunger.

Yemen war: Saudi Arabia forced to act, says Riyadh’s envoy to New Delhi
Saud Al Sati

In response to “Endless War”, the editorial published in The Hindu on August 11, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to India, His Excellency Saud Al Sati, writes:
I am writing to present certain facts that may not have been taken into consideration while writing the editorial. It is important to understand that the Saudi Arabia-led military coalition is providing military assistance to Yemen based on an official request from its internationally recognised government headed by President Hadi to counter the violence of the Houthi terrorist groups. The UN Security Council, in its Resolution 2216, imposed an arms embargo on Houthi terrorists and categorically placed the onus on the rebels to end any provocations or threats to neighbouring States, release all political prisoners and end the recruitment of children.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not want a war in Yemen but was forced to after the coup by the Houthi militia against the legitimate and internationally recognised government and UN-supported peace process.
Let us make no mistake that Houthis are an armed terrorist group, operate a military outside the legitimate government, are in possession of ballistic missiles, drones, and suicide boats that represent a threat to Yemen, its people, to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to the region at large. More than 150 ballistic missiles in addition to 40,000 mortars, rockets and other projectiles have been fired at Saudi towns, killing at least 375 civilians, closing more than 500 schools and displacing 24 villages and over 17,000 people. Women and children are being coerced by Houthi militias to join the fighting in Yemen for use as human shields. The Houthis are not only a regional threat but also a global one, as they have been relentlessly targeting the vital Red Sea maritime routes and attacking civilian ships and oil tankers.
We have taken every precaution to make sure that civilians are not hurt. Even in the case of the Saada incident, as put forth by the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the UN, Ambassador Abdullah Al-Mouallimi, the legitimate military action was taken on Thursday August 9 when Houthi leaders were targeted in Saada governorate. The military action also targeted some of the most prominent trainers on weapons, including a sniper trainer. This military action, conducted in conformity with the International Humanitarian Law and its Customary Rules. The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen affirms that it has referred this incident immediately to the Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT) for investigation, and to conduct their assessment of the procedures and conditions of the said operation, and announce the results expeditiously.
Huge difference
The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen is making a huge difference in the country. Despite heightened security concerns, we extended over $11 billion in humanitarian aid to all the provinces in Yemen — including areas controlled by the Houthi rebels.
However, the Houthis have been looting the civilians of Yemen in the areas controlled by them. They are also blocking aid from reaching other areas. Despite this, we are continuing our aid to the country for the benefit of all its people. We even allowed Yemenis who fled Yemen and entered the Kingdom illegally to adjust their status and become legal residents. We are the single largest donor of humanitarian aid to Yemen, having provided health, nutrition, and sanitation aid and relief to 17 million people impacted by the conflict.
Our Foreign Minister, Al- Jubeir, has reiterated time and again that the crisis in Yemen can only be solved through a political process. However, Houthis have hardened against a political process in Yemen because of Iran's obstinacy and interference. We know very well that the entire crisis has been orchestrated by none other than Iran which has used terrorism as an instrument of its foreign policy since the 1979 Revolution.
Iran is supporting and arming the Houthi militia with suicide drones, mines and ballistic missiles in violation of UNSC resolution 2216. We have intercepted Iranian ships carrying weapons, including missiles, to the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Saudi Arabia will continue working with its regional coalition partners as well as the UN and friends and allies towards achieving a cohesive and acceptable political solution to the crisis in Yemen, and compelling the forces that are instigating the issue to come to the negotiation table as soon as possible in order to alleviate the problems of the civilian population of Yemen who are becoming hapless victim of the Houthi terrorist militia.

Fawaz Abdulrahman Eid Al-Harbi exchanged fire with officers and escaped before being cornered near the Souk neighborhood. Security forces requested his surrender but he exited the vehicle instead wearing what appeared to be an explosive vest, and engaged in a shootout with officers.
Al-Harbi was wounded and taken to hospital.
The spokesman said Al-Harbi had “adopted Daesh ideology” and had plotted a terrorist attack and a number of weapons were found in his possession.
No civilians or security officials were shot in the incident.

‘U.S. supplied bomb that hit Yemen ’
Washington, August 18, 2018 20:52 IST
Updated: August 18, 2018 20:52 IST
https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/us-supplied-bomb-that-hit-yemen-bus/article24726778.ece
The bomb that killed 40 and 11 others in a Saudi-led coalition air strike on a bus in northern Yemen was sold by the U.S. under a State Department deal with Riyadh, CNN has reported.
The numbers on shrapnel, of which images were taken shortly after the attack this month, indicate that it was a laser-guided Mk 82 bomb manufactured by defence contractor Lockheed Martin, CNN said on Friday, citing munitions experts.
President Donald Trump overturned a U.S. ban on the sale of precision-guided weaponry to Riyadh after taking office in 2017. Fifty-six were also among the 79 people wounded in the August 9 strike on Saada province, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Al Tariq recently concluded tests against static and moving targets. Denel said that the targets were hit with an accuracy of more than 1.5 metres. Weapon navigation was by means of the advanced GPS-aided inertial navigation system which gives the weapon all-weather and day and night capabilities, the company said.

Yemeni Snipers Kill 81 Saudi Forces, Mercenaries in Fresh Attacks
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The sniper unit of the Yemeni army and Popular Committees announced that in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi-led coalition, it has killed 81 Saudi aggressors and their mercenaries on various fronts across the Arabian Peninsula country, local reports said on Wednesday.
A Yemeni military source said the sniper unit has managed to kill five Saudi servicemen and 76 Riyadh-backed mercenaries over the last 48 hours, the Arabic-language al-Masirah TV reported.
The Saudi forces were shot to death in border areas and the mercenaries were killed by the snipers on the fronts of Nihm, Ma'rib, Taiz, and al-Jawf, according to the source.
In another operation, the Yemeni troops mounted an artillery attack on the positions of the Saudi mercenaries in the kingdom's southern border region of Najran.
The attacks against the Saudi-led forces came in retaliation for the continued massacre of civilians and destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure by the coalition led by the Riyadh regime.
Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for more than three years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured until then. The war and the accompanying blockade have also caused famine across Yemen.

- Al-Maliki said that the missile was deliberately launched to target civilian and populated areas
- The total number of ballistic missiles launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia towards Saudi Arabia has reached 181
Al-Maliki said that the missile was deliberately launched to target civilian and populated areas.
The Saudi Royal Air Defense Force succeeded in intercepting and destroying the missile.
The spokesman said that the Iranian regime's continued assistance to the Houthis is in clear and explicit defiance of UN resolution 2216 and resolution 2231 aimed at threatening the security of Saudi Arabia and threatening regional security.
He added that the firing of ballistic missiles towards densely populated cities and villages is contrary to international and humanitarian law.
The total number of ballistic missiles launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia towards Saudi Arabia has reached 181.

Yemeni security member stand guard in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. (AFP file photo)
SANAA: A senior Al-Qaeda leader was killed in Yemen’s central province of Marib, officials and tribal leaders said on Saturday.
Ghalib Al-Zaidi’s death came a week ago in an exchange of fire during clashes in the Sirwah district of Marib, they told The Associated Press.
The officials and elders told the AP that Al-Zaidi had dozens of Al-Qaeda operatives under his command and had taken part in several battles in the province.
In 2017, Al-Zaidi was placed on the UN Security Council’s sanctions list as a Yemen-based individual “who acts for or on behalf of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).”
The UN found him to be providing the Yemeni affiliate of the global terror network with weapons, funding, and recruits.
Al-Zaidi was also found to have helped AQAP to expand its control in parts of Marib.
Al-Zaidi had been the group’s leader in the province since 2015.
The Arab coalition has been at war with the Iran-allied Houthis for more than three years.
Al-Qaeda and a Daesh affiliate have exploited the chaos to expand their presence in the country.
AQAP is considered the most dangerous branch of the terror network and had attempted attacks on US soil.
