One killed, seven injured in projectile attack in Saudi city Najran

Xinhua, November 23, 2016 Adjust font size:

Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday a fresh projectile attack from Yemen killed a man and injured seven others in the Saudi city Najran, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The attack targeted a shopping mall in the border town by Houthi militias, the report said.

The Saudi civil defense confirmed that the deceased was a Yemeni national, while the seven injured are Saudi residents.

The attack took place after Saudi Arabia announced on Monday the end of the ceasefire in Yemen for the violations committed by Houthi militias in Yemen and the borders with Saudi Arabia.

Thousands of civilians from both sides have lost their lives and got injured in clashes since the beginning of war in Yemen between the Saudi-led coalition and Houthis. Endit
