SANAA, Jun 11 (NNN-SABA) – The Houthi group, yesterday, accused the Saudi border guards of shooting and injuring three African immigrants, who were attempting to cross the Yemeni-Saudi border.
According to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, the incident occurred earlier yesterday, in the Al-Raqo area of the border district of Monabih, in Yemen’s northern province of Saada, which is currently under the control of the Houthi militia.
The injured individuals were transported to a hospital for medical treatment, the Houthi TV added.
The Saudi government has not commented on the incident.
Located in north-western Yemen, Saada Province shares borders with Saudi Arabia to the north and north-west. It is the most populous province in Yemen and serves as a stronghold of the Houthi group.
The northern border areas of Yemen have become notorious for smuggling activities and illegal migration of Yemenis and Africans, who are in search of better opportunities.– NNN-SABA
