Two members of the Saudi-led coalition forces were killed in an attack by a Yemeni defence ministry employee in Yemen's Seiyun on Friday, the coalition's spokesperson Turki al-Malki was quoted by the Saudi state news agency as saying on Saturday.
Al-Malki said the attack, which also wounded one officer, occurred at a training camp for Yemeni forces in the eastern city of Seiyun in the Hadhramaut province.
He added that the coalition and Yemeni authorities will jointly investigate the incident to determine motives behind the attack and bring the perpetrator to justice.
