“The Saudis began an attack along many fronts on the Yemeni border,” Huthis said in a statement.

The Saudis are using “all types of ground and air weapons,” including tanks, artillery, rocket launchers, Apache helicopters and jet fighters, they said.

Saudi jets bombed villages within the border on Sunday and through the night, following a failed Saudi incursion into the border.

“The (Saudi) air force began bomb and missile attacks on various villages in the Malahidh, Shedah, Hidan and Razah areas” of northwest Yemen, they said in a separate statement.

Saudi aircraft also bombed Saqin near the city of Saada, they said, as well as Saada suburbs and a central security building inside the city. Dahyan had likewise been targeted.

Sunday’s attack was led by “around 50 Hummers” supported by helicopters and fighter jets, before the Saudis were repelled and “the aggressors suffered heavy losses,” the Shiite fighters said.
