A large popular market was struck by Saudi-led warplanes with several airstrikes in Yemen’s Jawf governorate on Wednesday.
The Saudi-led airstrike killed large numbers of livestock and caused great material losses, a local official said.
The warplanes also bombed a petrol station in Matoun district, as well as several areas in Hazem and Zaher districts, the official further said.
The Saudi-led bombing resulted in great damage to houses and private properties, he added.
Also on Wednesday, the Saudi-led coalition launched o two air raids against Hajjah province in Yemen.
The raids targeted farms and civilian facilities in Haradh and Medi towns, an official said.
Four people were seriously wounded in Medi town, he said.
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 ’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 last month [September]. Yet, other organizations put the death toll at much higher.
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.
