The Sudanese army said Tuesday (April 11th) that five of its troops have been killed while fighting for the coalition against the Houthis (Ansarallah) in Yemen, AFP reported.
The army did not specify when the troops were killed.
Sudan joined the coalition in 2015 after breaking decades-old ties with Iran.
The Sudanese military has largely refrained from offering details of its operations within the coalition or of casualties it has suffered in the conflict.
But late Tuesday the army said it had lost five troops in Yemen, including an officer, and that 22 others had been wounded.
In a statement, army spokesman Brig. Ahmed Khalifa al-Shami said Sudanese forces had on Tuesday completed their "first stage of duty" in Yemen and were now preparing to launch the second stage.
