Yemen's Houthi revolutionaries fired two Zelzal-1 missiles in the direction of Saudi Arabian provinces near their border, al-Masirah TV said in a tweet on Sunday.
The two missiles targeted "gatherings of Saudi soldiers," one in Jizan and the other in Najran, it said.
A Houthi military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told PressTV that the missiles were launched after they had carried out aerial reconnaissance with a drone.
The Saudi armed forces did not confirm the attacks, Reuters reported. PressTV said there were no immediate reports on possible casualties or the extent of damage caused by the first missile, but the second killed and wounded a number of Saudi troopers and military vehicles were destroyed in the Najran area.
Saudi Arabia is leading a Western-backed alliance of Arab states trying to forcefully restore the resigned regime of former Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The war in the impoverished country has left almost 10,000 people dead and unleashed what the United Nations describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis, which has brought many to the edge of famine amid a cholera epidemic.
The Saudi-led alliance has carried out a campaign of thousands of air strikes and restricted imports into Yemen.
UN-brokered political talks on Yemen broke down in 2016 amid demands for a Houthi withdrawal from key cities and power-sharing with the Saudi-backed regime.
