The attacks come as Yemen is increasingly drawn into the war between the United States, Israel and Iran. The Houthi movement has intensified its attacks both within the country and against neighboring Saudi Arabia, which supports the rival Yemeni government and is on the side of the United States in the wider war.
At least 11 civilians were also injured in attacks in southern Saudi Arabia late on Thursday. The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said in a statement that the attacks were carried out by the Houthi movement in a border area. Seven Saudis, two Egyptians, one Yemeni and one Pakistani were reported to have been injured. Among the injured is at least one child.
