No immediate Saudi comment has been made after Yemen's Al Masirah TV reported that the Houthis had targeted a Saudi ship off the coast of Jizan.

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

Earlier, on August 26, Yemen's Houthi movement reportedly launched two Zelzal-1 missiles in the direction of Saudi Arabian provinces along the border, targeting "gatherings of Saudi soldiers," one located in Jizan and the other in Najran.
