Saudi shells hit Yemen aid office, killing 5 refugees
Saudi shells hit an international humanitarian aid office in northern Yemen Thursday, killing five Ethiopian refugees and wounding ten, a local official said, Reuters reports.
Artillery fire and airstrikes hit the town of Maydee along Yemen's border with Saudi Arabia in Hajja province, a stronghold of the Iran-allied Houthi militia that a Saudi-led Arab alliance has been bombing for eight weeks.
Saudi forces and Houthi militiamen exchanged heavy artillery and rocket fire, and Arab airstrikes hit Houthi positions inside Yemen Thursday, violence that may complicate plans for U.N.-backed peace talks set for May 28 in Geneva.
