Local Editor

Local media reports said the Yemeni army has shot down a Saudi drone flying over the southwestern province of Ta’iz

The unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down in the area of Siman, in Sabir al-Mawadim District of Ta’iz Province on Saturday.
Similarly, on October 22, the Yemeni forces targeted a Saudi drone in the Jabal Asvad area of the provincial capital, Ta’iz.

In a separate development, Yemeni forces backed by fighters from the popular committees targeted a Saudi military border post in the Tawal area of Jizan Province, southwestern Saudi Arabia. A number of Saudi soldiers were injured and a military vehicle was destroyed in the retaliatory attack.

Saudi jets also conducted airstrikes on Yemen’s Alnahdain military base in Sanhan district of the capital, Sana’a, injuring a number of Yemeni citizens. A food warehouse was also set alight in Ta’iz Street of Sana’a as a result of Saudi air raids. Saudi attacks on Sanhan district also left a number of citizens dead or wounded, while razing people’s houses.

About 7,000 people have lost their lives in the Saudi airstrikes, and a total of nearly 14,000 people have been injured since March 26.

Riyadh’s military aggression and the related war crimes against the Yemeni nation have been going on with little international notice.
