According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), citing the official Civil Defence spokesperson, debris fell in several locations, including the village of Sabouha.
The spokesperson said the relevant authorities responded immediately to the incident, implementing approved emergency procedures and taking the necessary measures to protect lives and property.
He stressed that targeting civilian objects constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and reflects the danger of the hostile approach adopted by the Houthi militia.
