Saudi Arabia's civil defence agency confirmed the first death amid the escalating conflict with the Houthi militant group after fallen shrapnel from a drone interception killed a Yemeni national.
The drone interception also resulted in critical injuries to a Saudi female citizen and a Pakistani national, alongside material damage to multiple buildings and vehicles in Taif.
Authorities reported that the injured individuals remain in critical condition as response teams address the extensive structural and vehicular damage caused by the incident.
