Yemeni rebel attack on southern SArabia kills 2

Saudi Arabia said a Yemeni rebel attack on the southern border town of Jizan killed two people and wounded seven more late on Friday.

The statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency said Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a projectile that killed a Saudi citizen and Yemeni resident.

Six of the wounded were Saudis and one was a Bangladeshi national, Saudi media said.

The cross-border attack is the latest in Yemen's long-running civil war by the Shiite Houthi rebels following a series of Saudi-led military coalition airstrikes on the Yemeni rebel-held capital of Sanaa.

Yemen's civil war has killed some 130,000 people and spawned the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
