Houthi projectile kills two in Saudi Jazan

A Saudi citizen and a Yemeni resident were killed as a result of a Houthi projectile that hit the southern Saudi city of Jazan on Friday, state media reported citing a coalition statement.

The projectile caused seven injuries, six of which are Saudi and one Bangali resident and left 12 cars and 2 shops damaged, the Saudi state news agency said.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen carried out an attack later on Friday to address what it called as "the attacks origins" and said it will follow that with a wider attack over Houthi military targets.

 

The main Houthi's news outlet Al Masirah TV said a child and a woman were killed and seven more were injured in the coalition strikes over Yemen's Al Mahwit governorate.

Another Houthi Projectile hit Saudi's Najran causing materialistic damage.

Houthi's Friday's cross-border attacks come after the coalition struck a Houthi military camp in the center of the Yemeni Capital Sanaa early on Friday.

Residents told Reuters that explosions had rocked Sanaa as a result of the coalition strikes.

 

The coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015 after the Houthis ousted the internationally recognized government from Sanaa.
