Forces kill Houthi general on Saudi-Yemen border

The Saudi-led coalition fighting in support of Yemen's government has killed a senior Yemeni rebel leader on the border, a source close to the coalition has said.

The secretary-general said, in a statement issued here by his spokesman, "once again reminds all parties to the conflict that they must fully respect their obligations under global humanitarian law, in particular the fundamental rules of distinction, proportionality and precaution". The United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, condemned the attack, which killed at least 26 civilians, according to human rights monitors. Saudi Arabia in March 2015 formed an Arab coalition to begin air strikes and ground support for forces loyal to President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi who fled to Riyadh.

"The Secretary-General expresses his honest condolences and sympathies to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured", the statement said.

"There is no military, no security, no government and nor even rebels' establishment here.here only poor residents", resident Mohamed Kasim spoke to Xinhua by phone.
