Three people were killed in a cross-border mortar bomb and rocket attack by Yemen rebels on a city in southern Saudi Arabia, Riyadh’s Interior Ministry said. It did not specify if those killed were civilians or troops.
A Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes on anti-government rebels in neighbouring Yemen on March 26, sparking sporadic border clashes with Saudi troops.
Fighting along the frontier has killed 12 soldiers and border guards but no civilian casualties have so far been reported.
“Three dead after Najran region attacked by mortar rounds and random Katyusha rockets from Yemen territory,” the interior ministry said in a tweet sent late Tuesday.
