Local Editor
Yemeni army soldiers backed by members of the Popular Committees foiled an attack launched by Saudi naval forces on Yemen’s strategic port city of Aden in the south of the country on Monday.
Meanwhile, Saudi warplanes carried out three aerial attacks on the port city of al-Hudaydah and targeted strategic cities in Yemen on Sunday.
The Saudi fighter jets pounded an air defense base there six times, media reports said.
The Saudi warplanes also pounded the building housing the governor’s office in the port city of Crater in the Aden Governorate, and bombed several positions at Aden’s international airport.
There has been no immediate report on the number of casualties or the size of material damage in the Yemeni cities.
Furthermore, the Saudi fighter jets also bombarded the northern Yemeni city of Saada, injuring three people.
Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthis and to restore power to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia announced the end of the first phase of its unlawful military operation on April 21, but airstrikes have continued with Saudi bombers targeting different areas across the country.
