The Saudi aggression warplanes waged four raids on buildings of Saada University, causing large damage to the buildings, a security source said on Wednesday.
The air raids also targeted citizens’ houses and property in Nashor area in Safra’a district, the source further 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 attacks began in a bid to restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
Over 2,615 civilians have been killed in the conflict in the last six months, according to the UN. Yet, other organizations put the death toll at much higher.
According to the Yemeni health ministry, the death toll from the Saudi-led aggression is more than 6,000 so far, adding that 1,277 of those killed were children.
