120 Killed as Saudi Regime Commits Fresh Atrocities in Taiz Yemen

KABUL: (Middle East Press) Saudi forces have committed fresh atrocities in Yemen by killing more than 120 innocent people in airstrikes on the residential complex for engineers and technicians of al-Mukha power plant of Taiz province on Friday.

Al-Masirah satellite television network reported that in Saudi warplanes struck 200 residential units, housing the families of electrical engineers and technicians, in al-Mukha district of the province were destroyed.

Public Health and Population Ministry spokesman Tamim al-Shami said the complex also housed tens of displaced families in Taiz province.

Reports coming out of the area also say most of the dead bodies, including women, children and elderly, were burnt beyond recognition in the flames caused by strikes.

Members of rescue teams as well as ambulances had difficulty reaching the area due to incessant bombardment, and were even at times targeted by Saudi military aircraft.

Earlier in the day, four civilians lost their lives when Saudi warplanes carried out ten airstrikes against multiple areas in the Dhi Na’im district of the southern province of Bayda.

Several people were also killed or injured as Saudi fighter jets pounded a residential neighborhood in al-Ashah district of the northwestern Amran Province, located 53 kilometers northwest of Sana’a.

Saudi planes also targeted passenger buses and a popular market in Yemen’s southwestern province of Lahij. There were no immediate reports of fatalities and the extent of damage inflicted.

The Saudi regime launched an illegal aggression against Yemen on March 26 with the stated objective of toppling the Ansarullah movement and restoring power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi.

Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures including hospitals, schools, mosques, bridges and food factories.

The brutal Saudi aggression has so far claimed the lives of at least 5,300 people, mostly women and children.

The United Nations has declared Yemen a level-three humanitarian emergency, the highest on its scale.
