The Saudi-led coalition airstrikes killed 12 civilians and injured 13 other people in Mawza area in Yemen’s Taiz province, a local source said on Saturday.
The Saudi-led air raids also resulted in the destruction of people’s property in the area, the source said.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a deadly military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26 in a bid to restore power to 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.
