The US-led Saudi aggression killed at least 54 people in attacks across Yemen on Tuesday, including four children, as it continued to launch several air strikes on different provinces of the country.

The Saudi-led airstrikes killed 13 civilians in the northern Saada province, SABA news agency said. 

The airstrikes also killed 13 other people in attacks on roads and bridges in al-Mahawit province, northeast of Yemen’s capital Sanaa, SABA added. 

Also, 10 more people were killed in the nearby Hajja province in Yemen, it further said. 

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.
