RNA - Two fishermen lost their lives and more than 10 others suffered injuries on Sunday morning, when Saudi fighter jets struck an area in the Red City of Mokha, situated 346 kilometers south of the capital, Sana'a, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.
Saudi military aircraft also bombarded an area in the city of Sirwah, which lies about 120 kilometers east of the capital, as well as Nihm district in the capital province of Sana’a, but there were no immediate reports on possible casualties and extent of damage.
Also on Sunday, Yemeni army soldiers launched several missiles at a gathering of Saudi-backed militants loyal to former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in Sirwah, leaving an unspecified number of them killed and injured.
The developments came a day after two people were killed and five others injured in a Saudi aerial attack against a district in Sana’a.
Yemen has been under Saudi military strikes since late March 2015. The war was launched in a bid to reinstate Hadi, who has stepped down as Yemen’s president but is now seeking to grab power by force.
The United Nations puts the death toll from the military aggression at about 10,000.
Yemeni army forces together with fighters from the allied Popular Committees are fighting back the Saudi invaders and occasionally launch retaliatory attacks on the kingdom’s soil.
