The bodies of 20 Saudi soldiers were found on the border with Yemen, Saudi Arabia's assistant defence minister said on Saturday (January 23rd). The bodies were found after Saudi forces liberated areas around the strategic Dokhan Mountain, said Prince Khaled bin Sultan. A total of 133 Saudi soldiers have been killed fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels, AP reported Saturday. Six are still missing. Saudi armed forces launched an offensive against the rebels in November after they crossed into Saudi territory and killed two border guards.
