MANAMA: A Bahraini soldier has died days after an attack by Yemen’s Houthi militia on Saudi Arabia’s southern border, the military has announced. The Bahrain Defense Force said the officer, Maj. Mohammed Salem Mohammed Anber, died on Wednesday, just days after the Monday attack. The soldier died from wounds suffered following “the act of aggression conducted by the Houthi forces, during his dedicated service in the Arab Coalition forces as part of Operation Decisive Storm and Operation Restoring Hope,” the military said in a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency. Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa, field marshal and commander-in-chief of the BDF, received the body of the soldier at the Isa Air Base, where a ceremony was held. Four Bahraini soldiers died after a drone strike near the Saudi Arabia-Yemen border late last month, Bahrain’s biggest loss since five soldiers were killed in 2015. Hostilities have fallen dramatically since a UN-brokered ceasefire came into effect last year, even after it lapsed in October. Bahrain was one of several countries that contributed troops to the Arab coalition after the Houthis ousted the internationally recognized government from the capital Sanaa in 2014.
