Rebels: Saudi jets bomb Yemen

SANAA, Yemen, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Saudi fighter jets made a series of bombing raids Thursday in northern Yemen aimed at positions held by Houthi rebels, the Houthis said.

The rebels reported about a dozen people were killed by the raids and a number of homes destroyed, Press TV reported. In their statement, the Houthis said 750 rockets were also fired into the region.
