Airstrikes hit 'infiltrators'

Saudi Arabia says it has carried out airstrikes against "infiltrators" from Yemen and that the strikes were limited to areas inside Saudi territory.

The official Saudi Press Agency said in a statement on Friday that its military "silenced the origin of the infiltrators' fire" and carried out concentrated airstrikes against them within Saudi borders. It said the kingdom has tightened control over the areas where the infiltrators, believed to be Shi'ite rebels from Yemen, had tried to establish a presence.
