Fresh Saudi airstrikes kill 8 across Yemen
A series of fresh Saudi airstrikes targeting residential areas across Yemen have claimed the lives of at least eight civilians.
Yemen’s Saba News Agency said seven people were killed on Thursday when Saudi warplanes attacked houses and places of gathering in Razih and Shida districts of Sa’ada Province.
Several others were injured in the attack while locals reported multiple property damage.
Other reports said that one person died and two others sustained injuries when Saudi jets pounded areas in the southwestern province of Ta’izz.
Saudi attacks were reported in other areas across Yemen with no immediate reports available on the potential casualties.
Riyadh has intensified its attacks against Yemen since a UN-backed peace initiative failed to come to fruition last month. Some 10,000 people have so far been killed in the Saudi military campaign.
The attacks, which are part of an 18-month air and ground campaign against the Yemenis, are meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and its allies and restore power to former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
Yemeni forces have reacted to the escalated air campaign by targeting military positions in southern Saudi Arabia.
Reports on Thursday said two Saudi soldiers were killed by Yemeni army snipers in Jizan, in the south of the kingdom. The Yemeni army also fired a barrage of Katyusha missiles on a military base in Dhahran al-Janub in Asir Province, located to the north and east of Jizan.
A military source told Saba late on Wednesday that Yemenis also fired a locally-made ballistic missile on a gathering of Saudi-backed militants in the district of Nihm in the northern Yemeni province of Sana’a.
