At least 11 missiles were fired from Yemen into the southern border village of Al-Tuwal in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi-owned news channel Al Arabiya has confirmed.
The attack comes in retaliation to the Saudi-led coalition forces aggression against the Houthi and Saleh fighters across the border Friday near the Saudi border cities of Jazan and southern Dhahran.
The Houthi and Saleh forces have routinely been firing missiles into Saudi Arabia in recent months.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 11,400 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
