Saudi Warplanes Martyr 90 on Monday Ahead of Truce

Local Editor


A few hours before a planned truce in Yemen, the US-backed warplanes intensified airstrikes on several areas across the country on Tuesday, and martyred 90 people and injured 300 others a day before. 

The airstrikes on Tuesday hit al-Naqem Mountain and al-Nahda neighborhood in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. 

A day earlier on Monday, the number of martyrs from the Saudi aggression on a number of neighbourhoods in al-Naqem reached 90 martyrs and 300 others were injured, some of who are in a critical state, a local source in Sanaa confirmed. 

The Saudi attacks come a few hours just before the five-day humanitarian truce. Earlier on Sunday, Yemeni army and Ansarullah revolutionaries agreed on the ceasefire, but warned against any violation by Saudi Arabia or any of its allies.

Saudi Arabia began its US-led military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls the capital, Sana’a, and other major provinces, and to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
