Saudis to continue attacks on Houthis

Khaled-bin-Sultan

Saudi Arabia has threatened to continue its offensive against Houthi fighters until they move back from the ‘frontier’ between Yemen and the kingdom.

“We are not going to stop the bombing until the Houthis retreat tens of kilometers inside their border,” Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khaled bin Sultan said on Tuesday.

He also conceded that Saudi warplanes continue to pound northern Yemen, a week after the offensive launched against the Muslim fighters, AFP reported on Tuesday.

Houthis say Saudi forces have expanded the scope of the attacks into civilian areas, pounding residential areas kilometers inside Yemen.

The fighters have also accused Riyadh of using banned phosphorous bombs against civilians
