Saudi Arabia has been carrying out a military campaign in Yemen, supporting the country’s president and Riyadh ally Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud has reshuffled the kingdom’s military, sacking a chief of staff and several other high ranking military officials, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported Monday, citing royal decrees.
Fayyad al-Ruwaili will replace General Abdul Rahman bin Saleh al-Bunyan as chief of staff, while the heads of the kingdom’s ground and air defense forces will be replaced as well.
The Saudi authorities haven’t commented on the decision yet.
