Saudi forces respond to Houthi shelling - Arabiya TV

DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi forces retaliated against Houthi shelling of a border region on Monday, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television reported, hours after a ceasefire in the country's war was due to come into force. The channel had no further details on the reported incident in the al-Tawal region on the border between the two countries. A Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iranian-allied Houthi militia had announced a ceasefire from 11:59 p.m. (9.59 p.m. BST) on Sunday for five days to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid amid severe shortages of fuel, food and medicine.
