A Saudi solider has been killed by Yemeni retaliatory rocket fire in Saudi Arabia�s southern Jizan border region.

A Saudi solider was also wounded in the early Sunday attacks which were carried out in Jizan�s town of Hareth, according to Saudi Arabia�s Interior Ministry.

Late on Saturday, Yemeni troops backed by allied army units also attacked two bases in the region.

Earlier in the day, army forces and Houthi fighters carried out a similar attack on the Khabbash military camp in the southern Saudi province of Najran.

According to reports, a Saudi colonel and three other troops were killed in that attack.

Yemeni forces launch such attacks in retaliation for Saudi Arabia�s merciless airstrikes, carried out since March 26.

During the latest series of Saudi bombings, warplanes carried out raids in the southern Aden province, and on a military base in Yemen�s southwestern province of Lahij.

Saudi jets also targeted several regions in the central Ma�rib province and the southwestern Ta�izz province.

Saudi Arabia carries out attacks, without a UN mandate, in an attempt to weaken the Ansarullah movement and restore the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, to power.
