The assistant defence minister added that his directive was to fix and take control of the situation only within Saudi borders and not to interfere inside Yemen's borders. Earlier Saudi Arabia said on 6th of this month that its air force has attacked Yemeni rebels holding land inside the kingdom, bordering Yemen after the rebels seized territory and killed a Saudi border guard.
