Middle East Eye: Yemen: Saudi-led coalition launches 'large-scale' attack after deadly strike  

Military operation comes in response to a Houthi attack that killed three people in Saudi Arabia's border town of Jizan 

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". 

In a statement published on the Houthis' Telegram channel, he said the Iran-aligned group had launched three ballistic missiles on Jizan.
