Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Tribal sources said the tribal forces clashed with the Saudi troops, and killed 12 soldiers in retaliation for the Saudi army's blind artillery pounding of their regions.
Earlier reports said the Yemeni tribal fighters have regained control of 5 military posts in the Saudi border areas of Jazan and Najran.
Cross-border skirmishes between the Saudi troops and Yemeni tribes have flared up over the last four weeks, as the monarchy's airstrikes continue and have so far claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people, particularly at border areas.
Riyadh launched its airstrikes against Yemen on March 26 without a UN's mandate. Saudi Arabia aims to undermine the Ansarullah popular fighters and restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.
Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
On April 21, Riyadh announced the end of its military operations, but airstrikes have continued with Saudi bombers targeting different areas across the country in a new phase.
The monarchy's aerial bombardments have so far claimed the lives of at least 3,163 people, mostly women and children.
