The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the UN De-escalation and Coordination Committee building came under fire from Katyusha shells fired by Houthi militias and those loyal to Saleh.

A member of the armed forces in charge of guarding the building Fahad Ayed Al-Shamrani was injured in the attack and he was taken to Dhahran Al-Janoub public hospital.
