The two Saudi warrant officers were killed by a mine near a border post, the Ajil newspaper said.

The military conflict between the legitimate government of Hadi and Iran-allied Houthi rebels, supported by forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, has been ongoing in Yemen since 2014.

Since March 2015 a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states engaged in the conflict, launching a military campaign to defeat the rebels and restore the internationally recognized government.
