Houthi run television claims rebels kill, injure Saudi troops in artillery shelling; Riyadh yet to comment.

SANAA (AA) Yemen's Houthi rebels on Wednesday claimed to have killed and wounded several Saudi soldiers in an attack in Saudi Arabia's south.

According to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV, the rebels "carried out an artillery shelling Tuesday evening on gathering of Saudi troops at the site of Burj Al-Khushal in Jazan region, killing and wounding a number of them."

Saudi Arabia has not issued any statement on the incident yet.

Yemen has remained wracked by violence since 2014, when the Iran-aligned Houthi group overran much of the country, including the capital Sanaa.

The conflict escalated the following year when Saudi Arabia and its Sunni-Arab allies launched a massive air campaign aimed at rolling back Houthi gains in Yemen and supporting the country's pro-Saudi government.

More than 70,000 people have been killed in the raging conflict since 2016, according to UN estimations.
