The governor of Sa’ada province and members of the de-escalation committee survived Saudi airstrikes in Majaz district, a security official said Thursday.

The official explained that three raids by Saudi warplanes targeted the governor Mohammed Jaber Awad and the committee members during their visit to the Majaz Dam in al-Hajar area.

The raids resulted in injuring of three people with different injuries, burning of a car belonging to a citizen and causing damage to another car, he added.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
