Houthi missile launched into Saudi kills one, injuries 11

Fragments from a missile launched into Saudi Arabia from Yemen by Houthi forces killed one civilian and wounded 11, Saudi state media said on Thursday.

The Kingdom's Air Defence forces intercepted the missile, Saudi state news channel Al Ekhbariya said late on Wednesday. State news agency SPA later said one Yemeni resident in Jizan was killed.

"The interception resulted in projection of fragments throughout some residential areas, which caused the martyrdom of a Yemeni resident, and injuries among 11 civilians," the Saudi-led coalition battling the Houthis in Yemen's civil war said in a statement reported by SPA on Thursday.

The Houthis have fired dozens of missiles into the Kingdom in recent months, part of a three-year-old conflict widely seen as a proxy battle between regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran. Most have been intercepted by the Saudi military.
