Local Editor

Saudi Arabia continues to launch airstrikes against its impoverished neighbor, Yemen, killing at least seven civilians in the latest such attacks in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a.

Yemeni media reported on Saturday that Saudi warplanes had bombed the district of Bani al-Harith in Sana’a, leaving seven civilians dead and several others wounded. The airstrikes also destroyed several residential buildings in the district.

Saudi fighter jets also launched more than a dozen airstrikes against the district of Sahar in the Yemeni province of Saada.

On Friday, several Saudi air raids were also reported in the provinces of Hudaydah and Hajjah.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television reported that the Saudi warplanes launched 12 air raids against the Harad district of Hajjah on Friday, adding that cluster bombs were used in four of them.

The Saudi war on Yemen began in March 2015 in a bid to reinstate the former Yemeni administration. The war has left at least 11,400 civilians dead, according to a latest tally by a Yemeni monitoring group.
