According to Arab News, two people were injured when a projectile launched by Yemen’s Houthis struck Al-Tuwal governorate in Jazan Saturday. However, the Indian Consulate did not confirm whether the Indian nationals being treated at the Jeddah hospital were injured in the same incident.
The attack came amid heightened tensions in the region following a series of missile and drone strikes on Saudi’s southern regions by Yemen’s Houthis in recent days.
Last week, the Houthis launched attacks targeting civilian and economic facilities in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran, injuring 73 people, including women and children, the paper said.
