Six injured as Houthi projectile hits residential site in Saudi Arabia's Najran, civil defense says
Saudi Arabia's civil defense said on Sunday that six citizens were wounded when a projectile it attributed to Yemen's Houthi group struck a residential site in the southern city of Najran. It added that three homes and three vehicles were also damaged.
Why it matters
The incident is a reminder of the security risks facing Saudi Arabia's southern border areas next to Yemen, with civilians directly affected. Any escalation of this kind could weigh on regional stability and on efforts to calm the situation in Yemen.
