Saudi Arabian warplanes killed at least 79 people and injured more than 100 others in two provinces in Yemen on Wednesday.

The attacks targeted Sana’a province in the west and Hajjah province in the northwest of Yemen on Wednesday. 

The Saudi aerial offensive against a military center in the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a killed 40 people, the Al Mayadeen satellite television reported. 

At least 39 others were also killed and five more injured in Saudi airstrikes on Bakil al-Mir District in the border Hajjah Province. 

According to the United Nations [UN], nearly 2,000 people have been killed and 7,330 injured since March due to the conflict in Yemen.

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, and to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
