Dozens of members of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement took to the streets in the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a to express outrage over Saudi Arabia’s aerial bombardment campaign against the impoverished Arab country.
On Thursday, Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries, carrying Yemeni flags and banners in condemnation of the Saudi aggression, vowed to remain steadfast in the face of Riyadh’s atrocious military offensive.
Bakil al-Qatwani, an Ansarullah revolutionary, described the rally in protest at the 16-month-old Saudi offensive as a show of support for the combatants fighting against Saudi Arabia and Riyadh-sponsored militiamen loyal to Yemen’s resigned president, Abed Rabboh Mansour Hadi, at various battle fronts across Yemen.
Relatively, Yemeni sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, reported early on Friday that the Saudi military aircraft had carried out nearly 20 airstrikes against various neighborhoods of Sana’a and elsewhere in Yemen.
The sources added that the warplanes launched three aerial attacks against al-Nahdain neighborhood in central Sana’a and two airstrikes at the Sabaha military base on the outskirts of the capital.
The Saudi fighter jets struck Shara’ district and the camp of the 62nd Infantry Brigade on seven occasions.
Saudi aircraft also bombarded a bridge in Sa’fan district, leaving a child and three women injured.
Separately, two airstrikes were launched against a bridge in Bani Sa’d district of the western Yemeni province of Mahwit, severing the link between the port city of al- Hudaydah and the capital.
Saudi warplanes also carried out three airstrikes against a mountainous area outside Sanhan village, a southeastern suburb of Sana’a.
Yemen has been under Saudi military strikes since late March 2015. The war was launched in a bid to undermine the Ansarullah movement and to reinstate Hadi, who has stepped down as Yemen’s president but is now seeking to grab power by force.
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.
