Over 200 Killed In Saudis Fresh Raids on Yemen
KABUL: (Middle East Press) At least more than 70 people have fatally lost their lives and some 130 others wounded in unabated Saudis fresh airstrikes across Yemen, the country’s media reports.
Saudi jets bombarded the Yemeni capital Sana’a over Friday and Saturday, killing 35 people and injuring more than 120 others. Yemen’s Saba Net news agency said the number of the victims could rise due to the intensity of the attacks.
The aircraft targeted the Yemeni Interior Ministry building, public services facilities and residential buildings in the city.
Striking the Sirwah district in the Ma’rib province in west-central Yemen, Saudi planes killed four civilians and left a number of people wounded.
The kingdom’s warplanes attacked the Al Bayda province in southern Yemen, slaying a child and wounding two of the victim’s family members.
As many as 21 people were killed and two others wounded after the planes attacked a village in the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada. Saudi attacks also claimed the lives of 13 Yemeni citizens and injured four others elsewhere in the province.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia began its aggression against Yemen – without a UN mandate – in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
About 5,200 people have so far been killed and thousands of others wounded, the UN says. Local Yemeni sources, however, say the fatality figure is much higher.
