STORYLINE
Saudi forces were patrolling the kingdom's lengthy southern border with war-torn Yemen on Monday, firing guns and artillery at targets moving in the hilly terrain just beyond.
Saudi Arabia has been carrying out airstrikes for the past three weeks against Yemen's Iran-backed Shiite rebels known as Houthis and their allies, forces loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Saudi troops have been boosted along its mountainous border provinces of Najran and Jizan.
Since the airstrikes began, Saudi soldiers and Houthis frequently fire mortar shells and sniper fire at one another from across the border.
Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry said on Monday that one of the kingdom's border guards was killed and two others were wounded from gunfire and mortar shells fired from inside Yemen.
The Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement that border guards in the province of Najran came under heavy fire late on Sunday night from Yemen.
It did not specify who the attackers were.
At least six other Saudi soldiers have been killed in separate incidents this month in clashes with the Houthis along the border with Yemen.
