Fresh Saudi Airstrikes Target Areas Across Yemen

Local Editor

 

Early Saturday, Saudi-led coalition warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes in Nihm district of Sana’a Province.

Warplanes also targeted the city of Sirwah. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

 

On Friday, at least 20 civilians sustained injuries when Saudi warplanes struck areas close to Hajar dam in Majz district of the northwestern Sa’adah province.

People had reportedly massed near the dam to cool off amid simmering summer temperatures when the airstrike took place.

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.
