Two people have been killed in Saudi Arabia in a projectile attack blamed on Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
Since 2014, Yemen has been racked by a civil war pitting Iran-backed Houthi rebels against the internationally recognised government, which is supported by the Saudi-led military coalition.
Saudi Arabia’s civil defence said on Saturday that two people, a Saudi and a Yemeni, were killed and seven others wounded in a projectile attack on Jazan, a southern region of the kingdom, bordering Yemen.
“A military projectile fell on a commercial store on the main street, resulting in two deaths,” it said in a statement, adding that seven others were wounded.
