The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Saturday that a Saudi officer and another non-commissioned officer were killed in a “treacherous cowardly” attack in Yemen’s Seyiun city on Friday. Another officer was also wounded.

The attack was carried out by a member affiliated with the Yemeni Ministry of Defense at the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Forces’ camp in Seiyun. It took place as the forces were doing their workout, said coalition spokesman Brig-Gen. Turki al-Malki in a statement.

The coalition forces are providing support and training to the First Military Region forces to counter terrorism and combat smuggling in the city.

The coalition plays a pivotal role in supporting humanitarian and developmental action in Yemen.

“The Joint Forces Command underscored that this Lone Wolf cowardly attack does not represent the honorable members of the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, who, on numerous occasions, expressed their appreciation to the pivotal and positive roles carried out by the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen’s Forces and their support to humanitarian action that contributes to alleviating the suffering of the brotherly people of Yemen,” said the coalition statement.

“The two martyrs and the injured have been repatriated to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“The Joint Forces Command is working with the Yemeni Ministry of Defense to follow up on the investigation to apprehend the perpetrator and present him to justice, as well as identify the reasons and motives behind this treacherous attack,” it added.

Chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi condemned the “terrorist attack”, ordering an investigation in cooperation with the coalition forces.

“The cowardly attack does not represent the honorable members of the Yemeni Armed Forces, who appreciate the great role played by their brothers in the Arab coalition and their sacrifices alongside the Yemeni people,” he added in a statement.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
