The Saudi aggression airstrikes killed a citizen and destroyed a mosque entirely in Kitaf district in Yemen’s Saada province, a security source said on Sunday.

 

The source said that the Saudi-led warplanes waged three raids on several areas in Kitaf district, condemning the aggression on the places of worship and citizens’ houses.

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].

Over 2,615 civilians have been killed in the conflict in the last six months, according to the UN. Yet, other organization put the death toll at much higher. According to the Yemeni health ministry, the death toll from the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen so far is more than 6,000, adding that 1,277 of those killed were children.

The attacks began in a bid to restore power to the fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
