Spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition Ahmed Essiri vowed on Tuesday a powerful response to any attempt to target the Saudi border.

In a phone conversation with Al Arabiya TV channel, Essiri denied starting any ground operations inside the Yemeni territories.

Saudi borders are completely secure and safe, he affirmed.

Essiri slammed violations committed by the Houthi group and forces loyal to deposed Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh on the Saudi border
