Local Editor
The Saudi-led coalition fighter jets launched several raids on eight provinces during the last 24 hours, targeting populated areas and public and private facilities.
The aggression targeted al-Nahdain area in Al-Sabeen district in the capital Sana’a, using high-explosive bombs, a security official said Saturday.
He pointed out that a child, named Mohamed Abdo Murshid, was killed in an airstrike targeted his father’s house near the 50th Street in the capital and a number of his family members were wounded.
The aggression intensified its raids on Sa’ada province and launched seven raids on Dhahian area, which led to the destruction of a house and damage to the nearby houses, as well as three raids on al-Dhomid area in Sahar district.
The warplanes targeted Al-Shuhada’a Cemetery in al-Ja’amala area and bombed the public street in Nashor area in al-Safra’a district , which led to causalities among the passersby.
The death toll of the aggression raids on Dhahian area rose to 26 people, mostly medics including a cameraman of Al-Maseerah Channel, the official said.
Moreover, the Saudi aggression waged four air strikes on scattered areas of Serwah district in Mareb province and several raids on al-Mashja’a area north-east of Serwah and others on Jawf junction.
The Saudi aggression launched a raid on Mokha area and two others on the old port in Taiz, four raids on Hiran district’s souk in Hajjah province, several raids on al-Amshia area in Sufian district in Amran province and two raids on Baidha city.
Saudi Arabia began its military aggression against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes are supposedly meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since the strikes began. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on impoverished Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
