Saudi forces foiled attempts by Yemen’s Houthi militias to infiltrate border areas in the Kingdom’s southwestern Al-Hurath area near Jazan, Al Arabiya News Channel reported Monday.

Saudi drones also shelled trenches used by Iran-backed Houthis for their snipers to hide and other arms depots in southern Dhahran in the neighboring mountainous regions of Asir region and Najran.

Meanwhile, fierce battles intensified in Yemen’s southwestern city of Taiz, sources told Al-Arabiya, adding that these battles were accompanied with multiple airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition.
