Two Bahraini officers taking part in the Saudi-led Arab Coalition fighting in Yemen died in an incident in southern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

The two officers, Captain Ahmed Mohammed Ameen and Captain Mubarak Sa'ad Al Rumaihi, were martyred in Saudi Arabia while they were performing their ‘sacred national duty’ as part of the Arab Coalition at the Saudi border with Yemen, Bahrain Defence Force said in statement carried by Bahrain's state news agency, BNA.

The command of Bahrain Defence Force extended condolences to the families of the martyrs and wished for speedy recovery for other soldiers injured in the same incident.
