The Saudi-led aggression carried out over 100 raids throughout Yemen’s northwestern Sa’ada province on Tuesday, in which one of them killed both a woman and child.
At least five people were killed and several more injured when jets targeted regions around Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. Several residential areas were also bombed in the western province of Hudaydah in Yemen.
In Hodeidah province, Saudi-led air raids on Khokha area killed five people and wounded 18 others on Tuesday.
A local source in the province told SABA that the airstrikes targeted citizens’ homes in Khokha area, which led to the destruction of several houses and damage to over 28 others as well.
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. According to the UN Children’s Fund, over 500 children had been among the fatalities.
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.
