Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry announced on Thursday that two military personnel, who were accused of committing treason among other offences, have been executed.

The two officers, a pilot and a sergeant major, were arrested in 2017 and sentenced to death on charges of treason and not protecting the national interest and military honor, the Ministry said in a statement.

They were referred to the designated court, provided with all the judicial guarantees and they confessed to what they were charged with, it added.
