Pakistani man killed in Houthi projectile attack on Saudi border city

Xinhua, February 13, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Saudi civil defense authority said on Sunday that a Pakistani man was killed in a projectile attack by Yemen's Houthi militias on a Saudi border city, local newspapers reported.

Figures show dozens of civilians have lost lives in such attacks since the Saudi-led war broke out in Yemen.

In a joint press conference with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Sunday, Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir said the Houthi militias have failed to implement any of the more than 70 agreements signed with them.

He revealed that the Arab coalition has a plan to reconstruct Yemen through huge funds from Gulf countries. Endit
