Saudi fighter jets pounded several areas across Yemen on the first day of the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Adha [the Feast of Sacrifice], killing at least seven people in the northern province of Sa’ada.
Saudi airstrikes killed at least five civilians and injured 10 others in the area of al-Mahazer in the Sahar district of Sa’ada on Monday, Yemen’s al-Massirah news website reported.
However, there were no immediate reports on possible casualties and the extent of damage caused in the latter air raids.
Saudi Arabia has been pounding Yemen since March 2015, with the UN putting the death toll from the military aggression at about 10,000.
The offensive was launched to reinstate Abed Rabboh Mansour Hadi, who has resigned as Yemen’s president.
UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen Jamie McGoldrick said last month that the death toll from the Saudi military aggression could rise even further as some areas had no medical facilities, and that people were often buried without any official record being made.
