The Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) on Wednesday announced the death of a third soldier following a drone attack by Houthis on Monday against forces of the Saudi-led coalition near Saudi-Yemen border.
First Warrant Officer Adam Salem Naseeb succumbed to the injuries he suffered in a terror attack. With this, the death toll among BDF servicemen now stands at three.

The BDF troops were stationed on the southern borders of Saudi Arabia, participating in Operation Decisive Storm and Operation Restoring Hope as part of the Arab coalition forces. Despite a truce in hostilities, they were targeted in a drone attack. Several servicemen were injured, but specific details regarding the number and extent of injuries have not been disclosed.
