Houthi authorities report deaths near Saudi border
The Saudi-led coalition also said it struck military targets in the capital Sanaa related to drone attacks on the kingdom.
Houthi authorities in Yemen reported several deaths on Thursday in the fight with Saudi forces.
Two Yemeni citizens were killed by Saudi gunfire in Saada governorate near the border with Saudi Arabia. Four others were also injured, including two immigrants from African countries. An airstrike by the “American-Saudi enemy” in the same governorate also injured two people, the official Houthi news agency Saba reported.
The Saudi-led military coalition also said they struck targets in the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa on Thursday. The strikes hit sites that have been used to launch missiles and armed drones into Saudi territory, the coalition said in a statement.
Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war since 2014 between the government and the Houthi rebels. A Saudi-led military coalition backs the government while Iran supports the rebels. Houthi forces control the west of the country, while the government has most of the remaining areas.
