Rocket fired at Saudi Arabia from Yemen?

Searched everywhere on the Arabic media to confirm this, but could not find it except on United Press International:
Saudi Arabia said Monday a rocket fired from inside Yemeni territory exploded on the Saudi side of the border.
Daily al-Watan quoted a security source as saying an explosion, which occurred in the border province of Najran, was caused by a rocket fired from a distance of 25 kilometers (15 miles) inside Yemeni territory.
The source did not say when the incident happened but stressed a joint investigation was being undertaken by the Saudi and Yemeni authorities to identify the source of the rocket.
“Cooperation with the Yemeni authorities is continuing and we will reach the truth soon,” the source said.
I was unlucky to read this news on Al-Watan since it was quoted above, as their website seems to be down (since long). How weak is our Arab Electronic media? I hate to answer this question…
Any blogger from Saudi can confirm/deny or explain this incident? I hope it is not another terrorist attack like the one toke place in Aqaba last August.
Update: Story confirmed. From AlwatanDaily - Yemen.

jane above is an American who is more at home reporting on the crimes of the people in the Middle East, than she is with the crimes of her own American government and the party she supports, George Bush Junior’s Republican Neo-Cons!
Visit her site and have a laugh at what she considers as the ‘Armies of Liberation’ - this is a good example of a lifetime exposed to western brainwashing can do to you.
