Five Yemenis killed, 10 injured in Saudi air strikes on Tai’zz
At least five people have been killed and 10 others wounded in Saudi Arabia’s latest air raids in Yemen’s southwestern province of Ta’izz.
The casualties came after Saudi jets targeted 12 trucks carrying fuel and foodstuff in the Mukha district of Ta’izz on Tuesday, the Yemeni al-Masirah news channel reported.
Yemeni sources also reported that Saudi fighter jets attacked a tourism center in the Sawan neighborhood, located east of the capital Sana’a late on Monday. There was no report of possible casualties.
Meanwhile, reports said that more foreign forces are joining the Saudi troops in their ground invasion of Yemen. According to Kuwait’s al-Watan newspaper, some 6,000 Sudanese soldiers are expected to join the Saudi forces in the ground war on the impoverished country.
On Monday, Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera news channel reported that around 1,000 Qatari military forces had joined the Saudi troops in Yemen. The troops, backed by more than 200 armored vehicles and 30 Apache combat helicopters, entered Yemen through Saudi Arabia’s al-Wadia border crossing.
Media close to Yemen’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi also claim that Morocco, Jordan, Kuwait and Egypt are set to dispatch troops to the Yemeni provinces of Aden, Tai’zz, Ma’rib and Hudaydah.
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 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.
