Saudi Arabia's state news agency has reported that shelling from Yemen has killed a border guard and wounded seven as a coalition the kingdom leads continues to target Shiite rebels there.
The Saudi Press Agency reported late Saturday that the Lance Cpl. Ismail Mohammed Ibrahim Sindi was killed around 6:30 p.m. (1530 GMT, 11:30 a.m. EDT) by the shelling targeting the kingdom's Jazan region. The agency said "the border guard dealt with the situation accordingly," without elaborating.
A Saudi-led coalition has been targeting Shiite rebels in Yemen, known as Houthis, since March 26. Cross-border shelling has killed Saudi border guards and soldiers amid the campaign.
