Saudi-led coalition fighter jets launched late on Monday a series of air raids on northern provinces of Sa’ada and Jizan, a security official said.
The warplanes hit al-Thoaban Mount and Mahdidh area in Baqim district of Sa’ada six times, as well as other four strikes on Malaheet area in al-Zahir district.
The jets also waged three strikes on al-Dukhan Mountain as they targeted a gathering of Saudi soldiers by friendly fire in Malhma site in al-Khubah area of Jizan province, said the official.
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.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
