Saudi jets keep pounding areas across Yemen
Saudi military aircraft have conducted a fresh round of attacks against several areas across Yemen.
Local media outlets reported late on Thursday that the Saudi warplanes targeted three areas, including a technical institute, in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a.
The Saudi jets also hit areas in the northwestern province of Hajjah and a dam in the western province of Ma’rib.
Earlier in the day, Saudi fighter jets targeted a residential area and a market in the northwestern province of Sa’ada, leaving a girl dead.
In a separate development in the impoverished Arab country, three Yemeni civilians were killed and eight others wounded in a car bomb explosion in the southwestern city of al-Bayda.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia began its aggression against Yemen – without a UN mandate – in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
The conflict has so far left about 4,500 people dead and thousands of others wounded, the UN says. Local Yemeni sources, however, say the fatality figure is much higher.
The UN has repeatedly voiced concern over the rising number of civilian casualties in the Saudi military aggression against the impoverished Arab country.
