The Saudi-led coalition warplanes attacked a citizen’s house on Tuesday, killing three people of one family and wounding others in Al-Ashraf area, Mareb province.
The Saudi-led airtrikes targeted the house and destroyed it completely, a local source told SABA.
The Saudi-led warplanes waged more than 15 raids on the areas of al-Balaq, al-Jafinah, and Tabat al-Masariah and they continue to hover over the areas, the source added.
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to more than 2,300 with more than 4,000 other civilians wounded in the fighting in the country that has raged for more than a year now, according to the UN recently this month [September]. Yet, other organizations put the death toll at much higher.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
The US-led Saudi aggression began in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
