Saudi Arabia says three civilians, including a 10-year old child, were wounded when a projectile fired by Yemen's Shiite rebels struck the kingdom's southwest border region of Jizan.
Saudi civil defense spokesman, Lt. Col. Yahia al-Kahtani said today that the attack by the Yemeni rebels, known as Houthis, took place late last night and targeted the city of al-Aridha.
Al-Kahtani did not identify the type of projectile used.
He says the wounded were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
In Yemen, the Houthis had no immediate comment.
A Saudi-led coalition allied with Yemen's internationally recognised government has been at war with Iran-backed Houthis since March 2015. The Houthis control the capital, Sanaa, and much of Yemen's north.
The war had pushed Yemen to the brink of famine.
