A water factory was targeted and destroyed by Saudi war jets in Al-Khafji area in Yemen’s Sa’ada governorate on Wednesday.
The Saudi aggression launched a sortie against a water factory in Al-Khafji area in Sahar district, injuring a citizen and causing total destruction to the factory, a security source told SABA.
The Saudi warplanes also launched three air raids against Aal Al-Saifi area in Sahar district and two other air raids against Aal Al-Hamaqi valley in Baqum district, the source 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 in a bid to restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
The airstrikes have not been authorized by the 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.
