The Saudi-led coalition continued its military aggression against the various provinces in Yemen, targeting civilians and residential areas on Saturday.
At least eight civilians have been killed and 20 others injured in the Saudi airstrikes in Lahj province in Yemen.
The Saudi warplanes reportedly bombarded the province of Lahij in the southwest of the impoverished country.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.
Based on UN figures, over 3,261 people have been killed, 1,670 of whom were civilians in the Saudi onslaught.
Saudi Arabia began its US-led military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a United [UN] Nation mandate - in a bid to restore power to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Saudi Arabia, and to undermine Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement which is currently responding to the attacks on the country.
