A Saudi airstrike attacked a gas tanker in Yemen’s Mareb province on Sunday.
The Saudi air jets launched nine air raids on Serwah and Mafraq al-Theq regions in Mareb, a local source said.
The Saudi war jets also launched four raids on areas of Mafraq Jawf and Halhalan area in Jeda’an in the same province.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
The US-led Saudi aggression began in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former Yemeni President, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to at least 1,916, with another 4,186 civilians wounded since the escalation of the conflict in March, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights [OHCHR] reported recently this month.
