The Saudi air force has attacked rebels in northern Yemen following Wednesday's killing of a Saudi security officer in a border area, reports have said.
Saudi aircraft had targeted strongholds of the Houthi rebels on the Yemeni side of border, spokesmen for the group and Arab media said.
A Saudi official told Reuters they had hit rebels occupying its territory.
The attacks came after a Saudi officer was killed and 11 were wounded in a raid by the rebels on the Jizan region.
The Houthis said on Wednesday that they had taken "full control" of a mountainous section of the border region of Jabal al-Dukhan.
'Successive air strikes'
In a statement on its website on Wednesday, the group said Saudi warplanes and helicopters had dropped phosphorus bombs on its fighters in the areas of al-Malahaid, Jabal al-Mamdud, al-Husama and al-Mujdaa.
Some interesting stuff to note here.
Saudi Arabia dropped "phosphorous bombs". Will they be censured by Human Rights Watch and by the UN? Will they be accused of war crimes?
Don't bet on it.
Also, this is just more proof that there are a million divisions in the Muslim world, and we would do better to exploit them, to keep the Muslims busy fighting with each other, so we don't have to bother.
