In seemingly ceaseless Saudi-led air raids, twelve more women and children have been killed in northwestern Yemen, as Saudi Arabia continues its unabated military aggression against the impoverished country.

The aircraft took Yemen’s Saada province under offensive on Wednesday, killing four women and two children and wounding six others.

The SABA news agency said that Saudi-led strikes against the province’s Bagim district killed a woman and two children and wounded two others on Tuesday.

Elsewhere in Saada, Saudi-led bombardment killed three women and injured four others.

Up to 6,400 people have reportedly lost their lives in Saudi-led airstrikes. According to the United Nations Children’s Fund [UNICEF], 505 children have been among the fatalities. 

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.
