Saudi bombing of homes in Yemen’s Hajjah kills children
Saudi warplanes have bombed a residential area in Yemen's northwestern province of Hajjah, killing at least three people, including two children, and injuring two others.
A security source told Yemeni media that the deadly air raid targeted a house in Hajjah’s Harad district on Sunday and set it ablaze.
The strike killed a woman in her 60s and two children and wounded two others, the source added.
He also lashed out at the Saudi-led coalition for "targeting civilians and committing war crimes that shame humanity".
On Saturday, Saudi fighter jets bombed more than 50 times several Yemeni provinces, including Ma'rib, Hudaydah and Sa’ada.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power and crushing the popular Ansarullah resistance movement.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
Despite heavily-armed Saudi Arabia’s incessant bombardment of the impoverished state, the Yemeni armed forces and the Popular Committees have grown steadily in strength against the Saudi-led invaders and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
