Sixteen Civilians Dead As Saudis Strike Yemen

KABUL: (Middle East Press) Saudi air forces have conducted fresh airstrikes across Yemen in which at least 16 Yemeni civilians were killed and several others were reported injured.

According to Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network, the Saudi raids on Sunday killed at least 12 women in an area in the southwestern province of Ta’izz while four other civilians died in the aerial attacks on the capital, Sana’a.

The Saudi regime’s warplanes also hit different areas in the Sirwah district of the central province of Ma’rib. Similar air raids pounded the Mustaba district of the southwestern province of Hajjah.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni army and its allied forces in retaliatory attacks purportedly fired dozens of shells at sites in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern regions of Asir and Jizan.

Reports also said the army forces targeted two military sites in Jizan, including the Malhama base, with a barrage of rockets, causing casualties.

Saudi Arabia’s official SPA news agency said on Sunday that the artillery fire struck the border province of Najran on Saturday evening. The report, however, did not release further details about the identity of the slain individual or the exact location of the incident.
