(Wall Street Journal) Ahmed Al-Omran - A rocket fired from Yemen killed two girls Sunday in the Saudi Arabian border town of Najran, a Saudi civil defense official said, as Houthi rebels escalated their attacks. The attack, which also injured five other family members, came a day after a boy was killed and his cousin injured when a Katyusha rocket fired from Yemeni territory hit their home. Saudi officials say more than 500 civilians have been killed along the border since March 2015. Houthi attacks have caused the displacement of thousands of Saudi citizens living in the border regions as well as suspension of schools and airports.
