Five killed in attacks from Yemen on Saudi border city


Riyadh, May 7 (IANS): Five people were killed and 11 others injured on Wednesday in two attacks launched from Yemen on the Saudi border city of Najran, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

In one attack, a police jeep was targeted, leaving a security personnel dead and one other injured, the spokesperson for local civil defence said.

Soon after, the second attack hit a private car on a road, leaving two civilians who were inside the vehicle, a passer-by and a worker dead.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, Xinhua news agency reported.

The two incidents come a day after Yemen's Shia Houthi militias attacked homes and a hospital with mortar shells in Najran on Tuesday, leading Saudi authorities to suspend schools and flights to the city until further notice.
