Cairo: Arab air strikes on an area across Saudi Arabia`s border with Yemen on Wednesday killed at least 30 people, most of them civilians, residents of the area said.
The attacks hit a district where tribesmen loyal to Yemen`s Houthi militia have been fighting the kingdom`s ground forces, in border clashes which are escalating a two-month war.
"Houthi gunmen were attacking Saudi border positions from this area but the coalition`s planes failed to hit the fighters and bombed civilians," one resident told Reuters by phone.
