SANAA, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi rebels said on Tuesday that three "civilians" were killed in a Saudi-led coalition projectile attack on the Yemeni border province of Saada, the rebel-controlled Saba news agency reported.

The afternoon attack targeting Talan Haydan village also led to the injury of two children, Saba said.

The Iran-allied Yemeni Houthi rebels and the Saudi-led coalition forces supporting the Yemeni internationally recognized government regularly exchange missile and projectile attacks over the Yemeni-Saudi border.

Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab military coalition that intervened in Yemen in March 2015 to support the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after the Houthi rebels forced him into exile.

Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of aggravating instability in Yemen by supplying Houthi rebels with weapons, which has been repeatedly denied by both Houthis and Iran.
