Saudi resident injured in projectile attack from Yemen

Xinhua, February 19, 2017 Adjust font size:

A Saudi resident was injured in a projectile attack from Yemen on the border city of Najran on Saturday, local news channel Al Akhbariya reported.

The news report didn't tell the severity of the resident's injury.

Figures show dozens of civilians have lost lives in such attacks since 2015 when a Saudi-led war broke out in Yemen.

Meanwhile, the Najran authorities warned the public against mines that could drift from Yemen because of the floods caused by recent heavy rains, Ajel online local news reported.

The warning came after Saudi border guards foiled an attempt by Houthi rebels to plant 300 mines in the flooding streams throughout the border between the two countries, Ajel said. Endit
