Najran: Six injured by Houthi projectile strike

Six Saudi citizens were injured after a projectile launched by Houthi forces struck a residential area in Najran, southern Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Civil Defense reported that the strike also caused material damage to three houses and three vehicles.

In a separate incident in the same region, a National Guard AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed due to a technical fault, resulting in the deaths of its two pilots. While Houthi spokespeople claimed responsibility for downing the aircraft, Saudi defense officials denied the claim, attributing the crash to mechanical failure.

Additionally, the Saudi-led coalition announced the interception and destruction of two ballistic missiles launched by Houthi forces toward Khamis Mushait.
