Two people were injured after a projectile launched by Yemen’s Houthi group struck Al-Tuwal governorate in Saudi Arabia’s southern Jazan region on Saturday, according to Saudi Civil Defense. The impact damaged a mosque, several buildings and vehicles, while emergency teams responded and carried out established procedures. Saudi authorities condemned attacks on civilian property as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions and a series of recent Houthi attacks affecting southern Saudi Arabia, though officials did not provide details about the victims’ conditions or the full extent of the damage.

Authorities rightly point out the breach of humanitarian law here. Damaging mosques and homes won't achieve anything but more suffering.
The Houthis show no restraint firing into Saudi border areas like Jazan. This pattern of strikes is only raising risks for everyone nearby.
It's outrageous that a mosque was targeted and two civilians injured by this projectile. Such attacks on noncombatants must stop.
