Riyadh, 24 Jumadil Akhir 1436/13 April 2015 (MINA) – Houthi faction in Yemen have fired a mortar round at a Saudi Arabian border post, killing three Saudi officers and wounding two others, Saudi Arabia’s Defence Ministry says.

The Saudi forces responded with gunfire, the statement said, Al Jazeera quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Earlier this month, three Saudi border guards were killed in separate fighting with the Houthis.

Meanwhile, in Aden, more than two dozen fighters and civilians died in fighting between Houthi rebels and gunmen loyal to President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, as the Saudi-led coalition intensified its air strikes in and around Yemen’s capital Sanaa.

The coalition said that it was targeting suspected weapons storage sites used by the Houthis.

The air raids, which hit the Defence Ministry and facilities including al-Hafa military camp, lasted for several hours, Sanaa residents told the Reuters news agency.
