Three Qatari soldiers killed in Yemen

None

Three Qatari members of a Gulf Arab military coalition have been killed during operations in Yemen, according to state media, their country's highest single death toll in the 18-month conflict.

 

The soldiers died on Monday, state news agency QNA said, without giving any information on how or where they lost their lives.

 

Western-allied Qatar has sent around 1,000 ground troops to Yemen, Qatar-based Al Jazeera reported in September, the country's first reported involvement in the Saudi-backed offensive. The Arab coalition is fighting to try to restore Yemen's President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power after Iran-allied Houthi forces advanced on his temporary headquarters in the southern port city of Aden in March last year.
