Areas across Yemen hit by Saudi warplanes
Incessant Saudi bombardment against Yemen continues to inflict a heavy toll on innocent civilians despite calls for an end to Riyadh’s deadly aggression against the impoverished Arab country.
On Friday, at least three members of a family were killed in a Saudi airstrike on a house in the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada.
Saudi warplanes bombarded a Yemeni residential area in the district of Sahar in the city of Sa'ada. The Saudi jets also bombed a school and a health center in the same province.
Saudi warplanes targeted the district of Harad in the northwestern Yemeni province of Hajjah. There has been no report on the possible casualties or damage due to the attack.
Late on Thursday, the Saudi jets conducted airstrikes in the southwestern province of Aden, where dozens of civilian targets, including a hospital and the Aden International Airport, were hit.
Saudi jets also pounded the premises of the Yemeni Foreign Ministry, a mosque, and an airbase in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.
In response to the latest Saudi attacks, the Yemeni army along with Ansarullah fighters targeted a Saudi military base in Jizan in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Thursday slammed the Al Saud regime’s ongoing aggression and blockade against Yemen, saying Riyadh’s relentless massacre of civilians in the neighboring Arab state poses a security threat to the entire Middle East.
Riyadh launched 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 country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Saudi Arabia.
Over 3,000 people, including more than 1,600 civilians, have been killed over the past three months in Yemen, according to the United Nations. Some local sources put the number of the dead at 4,500.
