Twelve people were killed and 54 others injured by Saudi raids in Yemen’s Ibb province, a security officer said.
The raids targeted a residential neighborhood in the center of the city of Yarim with four missiles causing damage six houses, the officer further said.
Yarim city was also hit by around 20 Saudi-led air raids on Thursday, resulting in material damages to many houses.
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 last 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.
