At least eight citizens were killed and others injured by air raids launched by the Saudi aggression war jets on al-Wazeiah district of Taiz province on Friday.

 

Two raids targeted al-Wazeiah district, hitting a car carrying citizens in al-Raqah area in central of the district, killing eight people including women and injuring others.

The number of victims could rise because there are people with serious injuries.

The victims were targeted while they were trying to flee to a neighboring area from the intense air raids on the different parts of the district.

Another raid targeted Sukinah School in the district, leaving large damage to the school building.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 9,400 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
