US Embassy in Riyadh Strongly Condemns Horrific Attack on Jazan

The US embassy in Riyadh strongly condemned on Saturday the horrific attack; launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen against the Kingdom's Jazan region.

A Saudi citizen and a Yemeni resident killed while seven civilians injured in the rocket attack on Friday.

The embassy added that the Houthi attacks only prolong the conflict in Yemen and the suffering of its people.

They also put at risk the lives of over 70,000 American residents in Saudi Arabia.

The mission called on the Houthis to cease their reckless attacks on civilians and join United Nations-sponsored diplomatic efforts; aimed at ending the conflict and achieving peace for the Yemeni people.
