Two senior army commanders from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were killed along with two Saudi soldiers in Yemen as fighting with a Houthi militia flared before Tuesday's expected peace talks, state media reported on Monday.
Sultan Mohammed Ali Al Ketbi , an Emirati officer, was killed near Taiz, state news agency WAM reported on Monday. Photographs of Abdullah Al Sahian, a top Saudi officer, were displayed by Saudi-owned Al Arabiya Al Hadath channel on Monday.

The Houthi militia said via its own media outlet that the two had been killed in a rocket attack on the Red Sea coast. The militia, alongside forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, has been battling fighters backed by Gulf states.
The Houthis and Saleh's former political party, the General People's Congress, are sending representatives to Switzerland on Tuesday for talks with Yemen's internationally recognised government under President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
A seven-day renewable ceasefire is scheduled to come into effect on Monday to coincide with the talks. Two previous attempts at ceasefires, in May and July, were followed by accusations of breaches by both sides.
Saudi Arabia led an Arab coalition in a military campaign from late March to stop the Houthis from taking complete control of Yemen after they had advanced south last year, seizing the capital Sanaa.
