Citing anonymous security sources, Yemen’s official Saba news agency reported that Saudi warplanes bombarded a residential neighborhood in the Talh area of Sahar district on Friday, killing five people and wounding three others.
Saudi bombs also claimed the life of another Yemeni and inflicted injuries on one more civilian after they hit the victims’ vehicle in Qatabir district. Two other Yemenis were also critically wounded as their house was destroyed as a result of Saudi aerial bombardment in the province’s Hidan district.
The Saudi war machine also carried out at least five airstrikes against different districts of the northern province of Jawf. No immediate report on the possible casualties was available.
Saudi Arabia has been engaged in a deadly campaign against Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to reinstate the former Yemeni government and undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement. The war has left at least 11,400 civilians dead, according to a recent tally by a Yemeni monitoring group.
The war-torn Arab country is also grappling with the scarcity of food supplies and outbreak of diseases amid Saudi Arabia’s atrocious airstrikes.
International organizations have repeatedly censured Riyadh for the airstrikes on Yemen’s infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, saying the campaign is taking a huge toll on the civilian population.
