RIYADH, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Saudi civil defense announced on Saturday the death of a male citizen after the falling of the shrapnel of a projectile shot from Yemen that targeted border city Jazan, Al Arabiya local news reported.

The incident that also damaged two homes and three vehicles was reported on Friday evening, the spokesperson of the civil defense confirmed.

The announcement was made short after the Saudi military released a statement about the interception of four ballistic missiles that all were shot at the same time on Saturday morning, targeting Jazan.

Jazan and Najran are the most hit targets of the ongoing attacks by Houthi militias. The Yemeni rebels have also targeted Riyadh and Mecca and other residential areas throughout the three-year war with the Saudi-led coalition.

The spokesperson of the coalition, Col. Turki Al Maliki revealed in a press conference held last week that Houthis shot missiles randomly towards Saudi Arabi along with more than 66,000 projectiles.

Al Maliki accused Iran of standing behind the instability in Yemen through arming the Houthi rebels. Enditem
