?? Saudi military shake-up amid criticism over Yemen war ?? | Al Jazeera English

Saudi Arabia's King Salman has fired his top military commanders and reshuffled his cabinet, in a shake-up of key security and government ministries. Those dismissed by royal decree overnight on Tuesday include the Saudi army's chief of staff and the heads of the ground and air defence forces. No official reason has been given for the overhaul, but it comes as Saudi Arabia faces growing criticism against the military coalition it leads in the Yemen war. Meanwhile, Russia has vetoed a UN resolution criticising Iran for failing to prevent weapons from reaching Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
