Saudi fresh attacks on Yemen leave 9 dead
More people have lost their lives in Yemen as Saudi Arabia continues its aggression against the impoverished Arab nation in defiance of calls for ending the deadly offensive.
At least five Yemenis were killed and nearly 10 others were reported injured in Saudi air raids on Razeh district in the northern province of Sa’ada on Thursday.
Three others had been killed in earlier attacks on Barazah district, along Saudi border in the same province.
Ansarullah said another attack on the Abs district in the northern Hajjah Province on Thursday killed an old farmer and injured some other members of his family. Local sources said the attack inflicted heavy losses on the properties of people living in the area.
Sources close to the Ansarullah movement said the morning attack on Sa’ada targeted residential buildings as well as farmlands and livestock farming facilities in rural areas, while heavy damage was inflicted on a number of roads and vehicles.
The most affected districts were al-Mojza’ah, al-Kharashib, al-Ghama’ and al-Malil in Sa’ada’s Kitaf region northeast of Sa’ada. Attacks were also launched on Baqim, while roads in Mar’an district were also targeted.
Sa’ada has born the brunt of the Saudi aggression on Yemen, as the area is a main bastion of support for Ansarullah members and the allied army units.
Elsewhere, Saudi fighter jets carried out over a dozen strikes on the central province of Ma’rib. Sources on the ground counted at least 15 air attacks in the provincial capital which is called by the same name, with the most notable of them targeting the al-Mennah neighborhood south of the city.
In retaliation, Ansarullah fighters and allied army units fired rockets at a Saudi military base in southern Jizan province. Earlier, Yemeni forces launched a Scud missile into the same region.
Health sources in Yemen say more than 5,000 people, most of them civilians, have lost their lives since Riyadh unleashed its war on Yemen over five months ago. The air campaign, which lacks any mandate from UN, is meant to stop the advance of Ansarullah across Yemen and restore power to the fugitive president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
