Shells fired from Yemen have reportedly killed one Saudi citizen and left three others injured in Saudi Arabia’s Asir region, a Saudi civil defense ministry spokesman said late Thursday.

Brigadier General Mohammad al-Aasemi said the Saudi civil defense authority received reports of shelling from neighboring Yemen on Thursday evening, the state-owned Saudi Press Agency reported.

Al-Aasemi said the shells targeted the village of al-Hisn near Dhahran al-Janoob in Asir Province.

The attacks killed a Saudi citizen, and left three injured, including a Saudi and two expats, SPA reported.

The injured were rushed to hospital, he added.

The Saudi-Yemen border has, in some places, become a front line between the kingdom and Iran-allied Houthi militias that a Saudi-led Arab alliance has been bombing for eight weeks.
