At least 15 Yemeni civilians were killed in the latest Saudi airstrikes as the kingdom continues its military aggression against Yemen.
Some 12 people, including 6 children, were killed in Saudi air raids on Sadr village in the northwestern province of Sa’ada in Yemen on Monday, the country’s al-Masirah television reported.
Earlier in the day, Saudi fighter jets pounded various areas across the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, killing at least three.
Saudi warplanes also bombarded government buildings in the northern province of Jawf.
Two Yemeni civilians also sustained injuries in Saudi airstrikes on the town of Herz in the northwestern province of Hajjah.
Two residential areas in the northern province of Amran were also targeted by Saudi warplanes.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.
The Saudi attacks have killed more than 2,600 people and injured at least 11,000 since the military aggression began against Yemen on March 26, according to UN records.
The US-led Saudi military aggression began in an attempt to bring the fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia, back to power, and to weaken the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
