Saudi Warplanes Attack Residential Areas in Yemen
The Saudi fighter jets bombed several residential areas across Yemen, reports said Wednesday.
Saudi airstrikes destroyed residential buildings in the province of Sa’ada.
Meanwhile, Saudi warplanes also bombed several areas in Ma’rib province.
On Tuesday, Saudi warplanes bombed a residential area in the Razeh district in the province of Sa’ada, killing two civilians.
Earlier, Saudi fighter jets pounded the Dar al-Shoja’ area in the Mokha port city, situated 346 kilometers (214 miles) South of the capital, Sana’a, though no reports of casualties were available.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 210 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,691 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
