Local Editor
The Saudi aggression continues to bombard several areas in Yemen despite warnings about the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the impoverished country.
According to local media outlets on Wednesday, Saudi warplanes bombarded the area of al-Sawad in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. Reports said that a Yemeni military base in the area was also bombarded.
The Saudi warplanes also bombarded more than 100 times the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada on Tuesday. Saudi military aircraft bombarded the residential areas of Razih district in the province, killing at least six people. A doctor was also killed and another civilian sustained injuries in an earlier attack targeting a clinic in the same province.
Furthermore, at least four people sustained injuries in the Saudi aggression against the eastern Yemeni province of Hajjah.
Also, the Saudi fighter jets bombed the Yemeni provinces of Ma’rib, Taiz, and al-Jawf.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to at least 1,916, with another 4,186 civilians wounded since the escalation of the conflict in March, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights [OHCHR] reported recently this month.
The US-led Saudi aggression began in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
