Three women in Saudi’s Jazan injured in missile attack

Three women faced minor injuries in a missile attack in a border town in the Saudi city of Jazan, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.

Mohammed bin Yahya Al-Ghamdi, spokesman for the Civil Defense in Jazan, said the control centre received a report about a militray missile that was fired by the Houthis towards a town located near the Yemeni border in Jazan.

Shrapnel from the attack wounded the three women and damaged one house, the SPA report stated.

The women were transferred to a hospital and their condition is stable.

In late March, two civilians in Saudi capital Riyadh were also slightly injured after being hit by the debris of a ballistic missile fired from Yemen.

The missile, which was intercepted and destroyed by the Royal Saudi Air Defense, exploded in mid-air over residential districts.
