Saudi strikes hit Yemen wedding party, kill several women
A number of women have been killed after a Saudi airstrike on a wedding party in the southwestern province of Ta’izz as more civilians fall victim to the kingdom’s military aggression against its impoverished southern neighbor.
Yemen’s al-Masirah news channel reported on Monday that the attack hit a wedding ceremony in the port city of Mocha.
Saudi fighter jets targeted a market in Razih district in the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada, al-Masirah reported. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties in the attack.
Saudi warplanes also targeted areas in east and south of the capital, Sana’a.
Saudi jets also reportedly targeted Yemen’s central province of Ma’rib over 25 times.
On Sunday, more than 40 Yemenis, mostly women and children, were killed as Saudi jets pounded areas in Hajjah and Ta’izz provinces.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s popular committees, backed by Ansarullah fighters, on Monday launched fresh attacks on Saudi positions in retaliation against the Riyadh regime’s airstrikes.
The allied Yemeni forces fired a barrage of rockets at a military base in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan region. Three Saudi armored vehicles were also destroyed in another attack in the same region.
A report by al-Ahd news website also said that the Yemenis had killed and injured tens of pro-Saudi militants in Ma’rib and destroyed ten vehicles belonging to them.
