By Two members of the Arab-led coalition forces were killed Friday in an attack by a Yemeni defense ministry employee at a training camp in eastern Yemen, coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki said.
The attack, which also left one officer wounded, occurred at a training facility for Yemeni forces in Seiyun, Hadhramaut province, according to a statement released through the Saudi Press Agency.
Al-Malki said coalition forces and Yemeni authorities will conduct a joint investigation to determine the attack’s motives and bring the perpetrator to justice.
The incident comes during a period of relative stability in Yemen, which has experienced almost two years of calm amid direct peace talks. The Arab-led military coalition first intervened in the country in 2015 after Iran-aligned Houthi forces ousted the government from the capital, Sanaa.
