The General Command of the Bahraini Army, on Thursday, mourned Major Mohammed Anbar, succumbing to the wounds he sustained in a Houthi attack on the Saudi border late last September.

The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force confirmed the death of Major Anbar, making him the fifth soldier killed in the attack carried out by the Houthis on the Bahraini force, “while it was present to perform its duty on the southern border of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia near Yemen.”

The General Command of the Bahraini Army confirmed on September 25, 2023, that its force on the southern border of Saudi Arabia with Yemen was attacked by attack drones, carried out by the Houthis.

An officer and a soldier were killed during the attack, then a third and fourth soldier died, before the Bahraini army announced the death of the fifth soldier.

On September 26, the Bahraini king called on the Houthi group to hand over those responsible for attacking its forces on the southern Saudi border, describing the attack as a “treacherous criminal act” during the UN truce.

In turn, the Houthis considered the deaths of Bahraini forces stationed on the Saudi-Yemeni border “unfortunate.”
