Amir Mohammad bin Mosaed bin Jalawi, an assistant inspector general, and his comrades were killed when Yemeni forces targeted them in the al-Hajar region, Saada Press news website reported on Friday.
This comes a day after Houthi Ansarullah fighter killed several mercenaries fighting on Saudi Arabias behalf and militants loyal to Yemens fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in the same region.
In a separate development, Yemeni forces captured at least 48 Emirati soldiers, including nine military officers during a series of clashes in the northern province of al-Jawf.
Over 130 militants were also captured during the fierce fighting, Yemens Arabic-language al-Ahd news agency reported.
Several Yemeni civilians have lost their lives over the past three days as Saudi warplanes continue to pound areas across Yemen.
On Wednesday, leader of Yemens Ansarullah movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi lashed out at Saudi Arabia, saying the kingdoms policies are the same as those of the US and Israel, which seek to crush the Muslim Ummah without paying any price.

More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since March. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished countrys facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
