State media in Saudi Arabia are reporting that a land mine has killed a border guard along the kingdom's frontier with Yemen, where it is leading a coalition battling Shiite rebels.
The Saudi Press Agency said late on Monday that the blast also wounded three other border guards in the kingdom's southern Jazan province.
Sporadic cross-border shelling has killed and wounded civilians in Saudi Arabia since the Saudi-led coalition started its Yemen campaign in March 2015.

The United Nations says more than 80 percent of Yemenis are in dire need of food, water and other aid as a result of the conflict in the Arab world's poorest country.
