JAZAN — A Saudi citizen was killed and another injured near the Yemen border on Friday by shelling from rebels, Civil Defense spokesman said.



The shelling occurred after Friday prayers as people were leaving a mosque in the southwestern border area of Jizan and parts of the mosque were damaged, a statement on the official Saudi news agency SPA said quoting Major Yahya bin Abdullah Al-Qahtani.



Necessary measures have been taken in accordance with the plans approved by the Civil Defense, he added.



On Saturday, the Houthis and their allies fired a Scud missile at Saudi Arabia that the kingdom said it shot down.
