Baku. Ziya Agazade – APA. Saudi forces have recovered the bodies of 20 soldiers who had been reported missing in fierce battles with Yemeni rebels on the border, the assistant defense minister said Saturday, raising the Saudi death toll in the conflict to 133, APA reports quoting AFP.
Prince Khaled bin Sultan told reporters the bodies were found after troops cleared the rebels out of areas around Dokhan mountain, a strategic high point in the rugged border region. He said six soldiers are still missing.
Saudi forces entered the conflict with a sweeping offensive against the rebels after they crossed the border on Nov. 5 and killed two Saudi border guards.
A Saudi general earlier described the war with the poorly armed Yemeni rebels as "close to a guerrilla war."
