Yemeni Town Under Heavy Fire from Saudi Arabia

Local Editor

The Yemeni town of Midi is under heavy rocket and artillery fire from Saudi Arabia, Al Mayadeen reported Monday.

No information about possible casualties is yet available, according to the TV channel. Midi is located in Yemen’s western Hajjah governorate near the border with Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
