Houthi militants captured two Saudi soldiers in Yemen, the Kingdom confirmed to AFP.

The Shia fighters released footage of a man dressed in military uniform last week who said he had been captured in the Jazan border area.

“We have evidence that they are alive and they are in captivity with the militia,” Brigadier General Ahmad Al Assiri said.

The Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against Houthi militants since March.
