Saudi Civil Defence has said that two people were wounded and a mosque and several buildings were damaged after a projectile fired by the Yemeni Houthi rebels<\/a> struck Saudi Arabia\u2019s southern Jazan region.<\/p>\n

Several vehicles were also damaged by the projectile that landed in Jazan\u2019s al-Tuwal governorate on Saturday, it added.<\/p>\n

A civil defence spokesperson called the targeting of civilian objects a \u201cflagrant violation of international humanitarian law\u201d, adding that established emergency procedures had been implemented.<\/p>\n

The Houthis claimed their attack targeted a Saudi military base in Sharurah, in the southern Najran province.<\/p>\n

Saudi Civil Defence later said the danger had passed in the Khamis Mushait governorate after a warning was issued for residents there.<\/p>\n

The Iran-backed Houthis have launched missile and drone strikes on southern Saudi Arabia in recent days.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the group struck civilian and economic facilities in Saudi cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran, wounding 73 people, including women and children.<\/p>\n

The strikes on the kingdom are part of a rapid escalation<\/a> in Yemen\u2019s long-running conflict, which reignited in July after roughly four years of relative calm under a United Nations-brokered truce.<\/p>\n

Houthi fighters have taken control<\/a> of Yemen\u2019s entire Red Sea coast, seizing the strategic port city of Mocha, while Yemeni government forces have opened new fronts in al-Jawf, Marib and al-Bayda.<\/p>\n

More than 500 people have been killed and tens of thousands displaced in the fighting, according to the International Organization for Migration and local officials.<\/p>\n

The UN Security Council held an emergency session on the crisis this month, as Special Envoy Hans Grundberg warned Yemen faces \u201ca new and more dangerous phase of war\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Houthis claim their attack targeted a Saudi military base in Sharurah.
