At least two Saudi soldiers lost their lives when Yemeni forces carried out a retaliatory attack against a military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern border region of Jizan as Riyadh presses ahead with its aerial bombardment campaign against Yemen.

On Monday morning, Yemeni army troopers backed by fighters from Popular Committees launched a barrage of artillery rounds at Ramazeh camp, leaving two Saudi soldiers dead and two military vehicles destroyed.

Yemeni forces also fired a number of rockets at other Saudi military bases in the Jabal al-Doud, Qaim Zubaid and al-Khobe areas of Jizan, located 967 kilometers (601 miles) southwest of Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, though no casualties were reported.

Separately, Saudi fighters conducted several aerial attacks against various areas in the city of Sirwah, which lies about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, on Monday morning. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

Saudi fighter jets also struck a water tanker as it was travelling on the road linking Saqin and Haidan districts of Yemen's northwestern province of Sa'ada.

Additionally, Saudi jets pounded the al-Labnat district in the northern Yemeni province of al-Jawf, located approximately 110 kilometers (68 miles) north of Sana’a, but there were no words about possible casualties.
