RNA - Saudi fighter jets repeatedly pounded the 9th district of Sana’a Province, taking the lives of three Yemeni kids, al-Masirah TV network reported.

 

Saudi airstrikes in Ta’izz Province also destroyed a civilian vehicle in the Sha’abo area of Waze’iya district, killing and wounding an unspecified number of people, according to the report.

 

Also, a highway in the Maran region of the Northern province of Sa’ada came under attack by Riyadh’s bombers, without elaborating on potential casualties.

 

The Saudi fighter jets further attacked the residential area of al-Khamsin in the Southern section of the capital, Sana’a, killing a woman and her three children as well as injuring two more kids along with two other women.

 

Additionally, several residential units surrounding the bombed-out house were also destroyed or damaged. Also, Saudi warplanes further bombarded a road between Khob and Sha’af districts of the western province of Jawf, injuring three more civilians.

 

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 14,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

 

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

 

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has drove the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster.

 

Nearly 3.3 million Yemeni people, including 2.1 million children, are currently suffering from acute malnutrition. The Al-Saud aggression has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
