Saudi jets keep bombarding areas across Yemen
Saudi Arabia has kept bombarding areas across Yemen, while the Yemeni army, along with allied forces, retaliated by launching attacks on Saudi bases.
In their latest airstrikes against the impoverished Arab country, Saudi warplanes pounded a district in the western province of Dhamar, killing two people, including a child, and injuring 26 others on Thursday.
The Saudi warplanes also conducted two airstrikes on an area in the central Yemeni province of Ma’rib and pounded areas in the northwestern province of Sa’ada.
Saudi Arabia bombarded a hotel in northwestern province of Hajjah twice and carried out two air raids on the port city of Aden in the southwestern province of Aden.
In retaliation for the deadly Saudi aggression, Yemen’s army, backed by Ansarullah fighters, launched attacks on Saudi Arabia.
In one of the attacks, the Yemeni fighters fired 150 rockets at several Saudi military bases, including Jabal al-Dukhan, and Jabal al-Dood in the southwestern province of Jizan.
According to Yemeni sources, the attacks were aimed at destroying Saudi armored equipment there.
In a separate operation, a Saudi military base in the southwestern Saudi city of Dhahran al-Janoub was targeted by Yemeni forces.
Saudi fighter jets have been bombarding Yemen since March 26 without authorization from the United Nations and heedless of international calls for a halt to the onslaught.
According to the United Nations, over 3,000 Yemenis have been killed and 14,000 more injured in over three months of conflict in the country. Local Yemeni sources, however, say more than 4,500 people have been killed in the Saudi strikes.
