WAM

At least five civilians have been wounded after Houthi militia's missile attack targetted a border village in Saudi Arabia's Jazan region.

That's according to the Kingdom's state news agency SPA, which said the injured - three Saudi nationals and two Yemenis - were moved to nearby hospitals for treatment.

Two houses, a grocery and three cars were damaged in the incident.

A top official for the Kingdom's Civil Defence in Jazan said a "military projectile launched by the Houthi militia from inside Yemen" landed on a public street in one of the border villages, with flying shrapnel causing the injuries.
