Three Qatari members of a Gulf Arab military coalition have been killed during operations in Yemen, state media said, their country’s highest single death toll in the 18-month conflict.

Qatar has sent around 1,000 ground troops to Yemen, the country’s first reported involvement in the Saudi-backed offensive.
The Arab coalition is fighting to try to restore Yemen’s President Abdrabbou Mansour Hadi to power after Iran-allied Houthi militias advanced on his temporary headquarters in the southern port city of Aden in March last year.
