A local source said in a statement to SABA that five people were killed, including two women and a child, while four others were injured in an initial toll due to the Saudi-led aggression attacks against Nuqum area.
The source pointed out that the aggression on its 204th day caused damages to Ghamdan School which is below Nuqum Mountain as well as severe damages to many houses.
The Saudi-led aggression hit Nuqum area in the evening for the 3rd consecutive time with a series of air raids and high explosive bombs after being bombed in the morning and at noon.
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to more than 2,300 with more than 4,000 other civilians wounded in the fighting in the country that has raged for more than a year now, according to the UN recently last month [September]. Yet, other organizations put the death toll at much higher.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies backed by the United States began to launch a military aggression against Yemen by launching air strikes against the country in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former Yemeni President, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.
