Unexpected turn: Military training in Yemen ends with deadly insider incident

In a shocking turn-of-events‚ a deadly incident occurred at a military-training site in eastern Hadramawt: a Yemeni government soldier turned his weapon on Saudi servicemen during their exercise routine

The attack resulted in two Saudi troops losing their lives while another got wounded (this kind of insider-assault is quite rare in the region). The incident comes at a time when the long standing cease-fire between Saudi Arabia and Houthi forces remains mostly in-place since early last year

While the Houthi movement didnt take responsibility for this attack a representative from their side made a statement that caught attention

This is the beginning and an indication of a harsh future awaiting the invaders

Houthi official statement

The situation unfolds as the nearly 10-yr old regional stand-off continues; with Houthi fighters still carrying out their attacks on ships passing through the Red Sea trade routes despite the existing peace agreement
