JAZAN — The official spokesman of the Civil Defense Directorate in Jazan Col. Mohammed bin Yehya Al-Ghamdi said a hostile projectile that was launched by the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militia from inside the Yemeni territory toward the industrial zone in Ahad Al Masarihah in Jazan Region resulted in material damage to three industrial workshops in addition to burning three civilian vehicles.

Attempts on civilian targets are a clear violation of international law, Col. Al-Ghamdi said, adding that procedures adopted in such cases have been immediately implemented.
