RIYADH: Two people were injured and a mosque and several buildings were damaged after a projectile launched by Yemen’s Houthis struck Saudi Arabia’s southern Jazan region on Saturday, Saudi Civil Defense said.
Civil Defense teams responded to the attack in Al-Tuwal governorate after the projectile landed in the area, also causing damage to several vehicles.
A Civil Defense spokesperson described the targeting of civilian objects as a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law,” adding that authorities had implemented the procedures established for such incidents.
The attack comes amid heightened security tensions in the Kingdom following a series of Houthi missile and drone strikes on southern Saudi Arabia in recent days.
