Yemeni Shia denied on Monday their snipers were operating inside Saudi Arabia and said Saudi war planes were striking targets across the border.

Saudi Arabia has accused the insurgents of mounting sniper attacks inside its territory even after the Houthis offered a ceasefire last week and pledged to withdraw from the kingdom. Houthi Shias last week left Saudi Territory to shoa their goodwill in peace plan, but Riyadh declared victory over the Shias!

"We stress that there was no exchange of fire with the Saudi army, nor is there a presence of snipers from any side," the Houthis said in a statement.

The Houthis said Saudi war planes struck targets on Sunday across the Yemen-Saudi border region that was also being pounded by Yemeni forces. Yemeni soldiers had killed 20 insurgents in the same area on Sunday, state media said at the time.
