BBC: Yemen crisis: Saudi Arabia 'repels Houthi border attack'

Three Saudi troops and "dozens" of Houthi rebels were killed as Saudi forces repelled a major attack from inside Yemen, Saudi officials say.

The rebels attacked near the town of Najran, reports say, in what would be their biggest assault on Saudi soil since a Saudi military campaign began.

A Saudi-led coalition has staged air strikes against rebels since late March in support of Yemen's exiled president.

Meanwhile aid groups say a lack of fuel is threatening their operations there.
