Saudi Arabia is continuing its airstrikes on Yemen in a blatant violation of a UN-brokered truce.
Saudi warplanes bombed the Sanhan district of Sana’a Province on Monday, leaving an unspecified number of civilians injured, according to Yemen’s Khabar News Agency.
Saudi airstrikes also hit the al-Amaleqa camp in the Harf Sufyan district of Amran Province. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The Saudi attacks come despite a ceasefire agreement that had been announced before the start of UN-mediated talks in Kuwait between the representatives of Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi - who has resigned as Yemen’s president but seeks to get back to power - and a delegation comprising of the Houthi Ansarullah movement and its allies.
Infighting between Saudi-backed militants
Meanwhile, fierce clashes have erupted between Saudi-backed forces in southern Yemen over money collected from trucks on Sunday.
The clashes broke out between forces loyal to Hammoud al-Mekhlafi on the one side and those loyal to Mokhtar al-Marziqi on the other in the town of al-Turbah in southern Ta’izz Province on Monday. Both groups are fighting under Saudi military leadership.
A local source said a passer-by was killed during the clashes, adding the pro-Mekhlafi forces took control of several areas of the city and closed off its streets.
Saudi Arabia launched military strikes against Yemen on March 26, 2015 in a bid to reinstate Hadi, who was a staunch ally of Riyadh as president.
More than 10,000 people have been killed and at least 16,000 others injured since the onset of the aggression.
