Saudi security forces have freed two German girls kidnapped in Yemen last year, the interior ministry says.

The two children were part of a family of five, kidnapped along with another four people, almost 12 months ago in Yemen's northern region.

Two German nurses and a South Korean were found dead shortly afterward.

The girls were found in the disputed border region between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, a statement said. The condition of the remaining hostages is unknown.

Another German toddler, the children's parents and a British national are still missing. -bbc
