The Saudi-led coalition on Saturday launched a “large-scale” attack on Yemen after a projectile killed two people in the kingdom, in the first such deaths in three years blamed on the Houthi movement.
The coalition retaliated with an air strike on Ajama, a town northwest of Yemen’s Houthi-held capital, Sanaa, killing three people and wounding six others, Yemeni medics said.
Following the attack on Ajama, Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree warned Saudi Arabia of a “painful” response if the coalition does not stop its “aggression”.
