RIYADH, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- A Saudi woman was injured in a projectile attack carried out by the Houthis in Yemen against the border city of Najran at dawn on Thursday, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The injured woman was sent to hospital for treatment, the report said.

Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition involved in the war in Yemen said it intercepted a missile targeting Najran with no injuries reported.

According to the coalition, the Houthis have so far launched 194 missiles targeting various Saudi cities, mainly those on the western border.

Such attacks have killed 112 civilians and injured hundreds of others, it said.

Saudi Arabia has been leading an Arab military coalition to fight the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen since late 2015.
