Local Editor

The Saudi aggression warplanes once again committed a new carnage against Yemeni fishermen at Honaish island in Yemen’s Hodeidah governorate on Saturday.

 

The Saudi war jets targeted the fishermen’s boats in Honaish island, killing eight fishermen and wounding another eleven people, a local source in the governorate said.

On Thursday, at least 20 other Yemeni fishermen were also killed in an attack by Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen’s Hodeidah governorate.

 

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 attacks began in a bid to restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia, and to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement that is currently resisting the aggression.

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.
