Residents in the southern Yemeni city of Aden said a Houthi advance had forced hundreds of families to flee.
Speaking by telephone, Mona Abdel-Maged, told the agency that a mortar shell killed her husband, and six men who tried to retrieve his body were killed by another shell.
"After burying the dead, we would still find torn limbs and body parts in the streets. So we go back and bury them," she said." USAToday

Najran, the capital of Najran Governorate is quite a modern city now. Take a look at it on Google Earth. I have wandered around on both sides of the Saudi/Yemeni border in that area. The inhabitants of the Wadi Najran are Wahhabi Sunni Arabs who live on subsidies from Riyadh and who feel no kinship whatever with the Yemeni Zeidi tribal Arabs on the other side of the mountainous border to the south of Najran City. The Zeidis hold the Najrani Saudis in deep contempt as pet dogs for the Saudi royals. The Zeidis have now attacked Najran City by fire twice in the last week. To do that they would have entered SA because they do not have indirect fire weapons with the range to reach from their side of the border. They are probing. They are "counting the spears." There will be more. the Saudis tried to get Pakistan and Egypt to hire out 30 or 40 thousand troops to them for a ground war in Yemen. That appeal failed. Now they are bringing in Sudanese and Senegalese mercenaries. This should become really interesting. pl
