A projectile struck Al-Tawwal province in Saudi Arabia, near the border with Yemen, during this Saturday. The attack caused two injured and significant damage, destroying a mosque, several buildings and vehicles in the area.
Saudi authorities attributed the attack to Houthi rebels, an armed group operating from Yemen. Iran is indicated as a supporter of the Houthis in the conflict opposing these forces to Yemen's internationally recognized government.
This incident occurs within a context of prolonged conflict between Houthi rebels and the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia, which has been intervening in Yemen since 2015 to support the country's legitimate government. The border region between Saudi Arabia and Yemen has frequently been targeted by projectiles and drones launched by the Houthis.
