SANAA, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile toward the Saudi border province of Asir on Tuesday, the rebels said in a statement.

"The Badr-1 missile targeted a gathering of enemy soldiers in a military camp in Asir," according to the statement carried by the rebel-controlled Saba news agency.

The statement did not provide further details, while there was no comment yet from Saudi Arabia.

The attack was the latest attempt by the Houthis targeting the Saudi territory.

Although the frequency of the missile attacks has increased recently, most of them were intercepted and destroyed without causing casualties.

Saudi Arabia has been targeted by Yemeni Houthi rebels for having been leading a war against them since 2015.

The Houthis say their missile attacks were launched in response to the coalition airstrikes on Houthi-controlled lands in Yemen.
