The Houthis launched 4 drones and 5 ballistic missiles at Jazan on Wednesday
and Thursday. The Arab coalition forces managed to intercept and destroy them,
according to Saudi reports.
The missiles were fired and drones sent from Yemen's
Sa'ada province, a rebel stronghold in the north of the country, toward the
Saudi city of Jazan, coalition spokesman Turki Al-Maliki, told AFP news on
Thursday. However, some debris reportedly started a fire at Jazan University.
"Debris fell on the campus of Jizan University, causing
a small fire which was brought under control and there were no
casualties," the spokesman said, according to the official Saudi news
agency SPA.
In a statement carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Dhaifallah Ali Fayez,
the ministry's spokesperson, stressed Jordan's stance on the conflict,
condemning the attacks and the targeting of a civilian facility to undermine
security, stability, and peace.
Fayez voiced Jordan's solidarity with Saudi Arabia in the face of threats to
its security and the security of its people, underlining that any threat to
Saudi Arabia's security is a threat to the security and stability of the entire
region.
Saudi Arabia leads a coalition that intervened in
the Yemen conflict in 2015, to support the the internationally recognized
government.
It has reported numerous attacks by the rebels on Aramco
facilities, airports, and other civilian targets in recent months, according to
AFP.
