A Saudi soldier has died from injuries sustained in a land mine blast on the border with Yemen, AFP reported Thursday (February 2nd).
The border guards corporal died in hospital after the explosion in Jazan province, the Interior Ministry said late Thursday.
At least 114 Saudis have died along the frontier since the coalition launched its intervention in Yemen almost two years ago, most of them in firefights or rocket strikes by the Houthis.
The coalition has previously said the Houthis have laid mines along the border.
Human Rights Watch said in September that the use of anti-vehicle and other mines by the Houthis and their allies in Yemen's Taez had caused "numerous civilian casualties".
