Saudi-led air strikes killed at least six allied Yemeni soldiers today in friendly fire attacks on their base 50 kilometres east of Sanaa, a military source said.
"Erroneous strikes by coalition warplanes killed six troops -- one officer and five soldiers," a government military source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Saudi Arabia in 2015 launched a military coalition in Yemen aimed at supporting the government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and rolling back Huthi rebels from the capital Sanaa.
