Fifteen civilians have been killed and 77 injured by war planes of the Saudi-led aggression in Yemen’s capital city and other governorates on Tuesday.
A local source said that the air strikes targeted many residential buildings in different neighborhoods in the capital city as part of its non-stop targeting of civilian lives.
The Saudi aggression on Yemen has entered its 167th day since it began in March.
Since March 26, a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country. 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.
