The Saudi civil defense said on Tuesday that seven civilians were killed in a missile attack launched from Yemen to Saudi border city Najran, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The attack was one of the recent strikes by the Houthis from Yemen, most of which have been intercepted by Saudi military forces, the report said.

Such attacks became more frequent after the Kuwait talks involving Yemeni political parties ended without major results.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a war against the Houthis since March 2015 in support of the Yemeni elected government.
