New Saudi airstrikes against various areas across Yemen have taken the lives of six more civilians, while Yemeni counteroffensives saw a missile being fired at the kingdom’s southwest.
On Saturday, six people were killed including four children after Saudi warplanes targeted the western province of al-Hudaydah.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni army’s missile unit hit military bases in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan region with a Qaher missile. The Saudi side confirmed the retaliatory strike, claiming it had intercepted the projectile.
In the same region, Yemeni forces carried out a mortar attack, killing a number of Saudi servicemen, and Yemeni snipers were reported to have targeted another Saudi military personnel member.
Separately, the Yemeni army engaged the Saudi mercenaries siding with Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi - who has resigned and fled the capital, Sana’a - in the southern Yemen province of Aden, killing two of the mercenaries and injuring four others.
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 10,000 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.
