KABUL: (Middle East Press) Saudi fresh airstrikes targeted arms depots in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a killing at least eight civilians, as Riyadh pushes ahead with its military campaign against the ruined country.
Local sources say, Saudi fighter jets targeted the al-Jaraf and Jabal al-Naqam regions of Sana’a on Monday.
Also on Sunday, Saudi fighter jets launched an attack on a radio station in Yemen’s northern province of Sa’ada.
On the same day, Saudi warplanes carried out several raids on Sana’a, killing six civilians.
Saudi fighter jets also bombarded the Hudaydah International Airport located in western Yemen several times.
In the meantime, the Yemeni army backed by fighters from the Popular Committees targeted a Saudi military base near the border between the two countries in a retaliatory attack on Sunday, forcing the Saudi soldiers to flee the base.
Yemeni forces fired several rockets at the base in the Jizan region of southwestern Saudi Arabia, sending the Saudi forces running for their lives.
The Yemeni fighters reportedly targeted military bases in the al-Harth and Najran regions of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly attack in March 26th on Yemen without a UN mandate. The military campaign is aimed at restoring power to Yemen’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Riyadh.
