At least ten people have been killed and many more wounded in the Saudi-led coalition’s latest airstrike against Yemen on Thursday.

The civilians were killed as Saudi warplanes bombed a residential neighborhood in Yemen’s capital city, Sana’a.

Raids were also carried out on civilian targets in Yemen’s southwestern Dhamar province and central Ma’rib province.

Saudi jets also attacked a sports stadium and a military barracks in the capital.

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.

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 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.
