Saudi airstrikes on the Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada have left four civilians dead and over ten others injured.

Yemen’s al-Masirah TV reported on Saturday that Saudi warplanes bombed the ancient mosque of Imam al-Hadi in Sa’ada, on the 45th day of the Saudi aggression against Yemen. Saudi rockets struck two areas of Qamar and Saqayn in the same province.

Saudi warplanes also targeted a vehicle in the northwestern province of Jawf. Reports said the attack left several people wounded.

Earlier in the day, a hospital in the southern province of Shabwah was hit by Saudi airstrikes.

Sources close to the Ansarullah fighters of the Houthi movement reported that Saudi aggressors launched four attacks on their positions in the southern province of Aden.

The attacks came two days after Riyadh announced plans for a five-day ceasefire in its brutal war against Yemen.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir announced the decision at a press conference with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Riyadh. The truce is scheduled to go into effect on May 12.

Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

The Saudi military campaign has reportedly claimed the lives of over 1,200 people so far and injured thousands of others. Hundreds of women and children are among the victims, according to the World Health Organization.
