RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Saudi Arabia said yesterday it carried out airstrikes against "infiltrators" from Yemen that were limited to areas inside Saudi territory, and vowed to press on until the border was secure.

The statement did not identify the infiltrators or speak to claims by Arab diplomats Thursday that the strikes hit across the border, targeting Shiite rebels who have been battling Yemeni government forces for the past few months in Yemen's Saada province.
