A soldier for Yemen’s exiled government opened fire on Saudi troops during an exercise in eastern Yemen, resulting in the death of two soldiers and the injury of another. The incident occurred in Seiyun, a city located 500 kilometers east of Sanaa in the Hadramawt province. The soldier, identified as belonging to the First Military Region, carried out the attack, which was described as a 'Lone Wolf' cowardly act by the Joint Forces Command. The attack was not claimed by the Houthi rebels, although a Houthi official praised it as a sign of a challenging future for the invaders.
The Saudi Press Agency reported that the soldier opened fire while troops were working out at a Saudi-led base, killing an officer and a noncommissioned officer. The deceased soldiers were brought back to Saudi Arabia for burial. Authorities have offered a reward for information leading to the soldier's arrest, with no motive for the attack provided.
