Saudi-led Coalition Drone Strikes Kill Seven Yemeni Soldiers In Hodeida

Local Editor

Seven Yemeni soldiers were killed Thursday in two drone strikes launched by the Saudi-led coalition.

The attack targeted a Yemeni military position north of Hodeida.

The armed conflict in Yemen that has been continuing for four-and-half years, has brought more than 22 million people that accounts to over three-quarters of the entire country's population, in dire need of humanitarian assistance or protection, of whom over eight million are severely food insecure and at risk of starvation, the UN has estimated.

The Saudi-led military aggression against Yemen in early 2015 has also wrecked the country's medical, water and sanitation systems, resulting in the outbreak of cholera and other deadly diseases. Thousands of civilians, especially children, have lost their lives either in airstrikes or fighting hunger.
