On a Thursday in Najran Province, shells fell on ordinary neighborhoods, leaving eleven civilians wounded — among them a four-year-old child bearing burns on her small body. The attack, attributed to Yemen's Houthi movement, is not merely an isolated border incident but a chapter in a years-long confrontation between Saudi Arabia and Iran-aligned forces that continues to exact its heaviest toll on those furthest from the decisions that started the war. Saudi officials now warn that what came before may be prelude, with coordinated strikes from multiple directions said to be imminent.
