RNA - Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Al-Masirah television network that the artillery rounds slammed into an area in the Shada'a district of the province, North of the capital Sana'a, on Monday afternoon, leaving three children dead and two others injured.
Later in the day, Saudi fighters pounded a number of houses in Zabid town of Yemen’s Western coastal province of Hudaydah, killing at least seven people.
Separately, one civilian was killed and five others sustained injuries when Saudi warplanes bombarded an area in the al-Garrahi district of the same Yemeni province.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 16,000 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 driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia's deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.
According to Fars News Agancy, Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fuelled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods.
The United Nations aid chief has recently expressed concern over the decline of food imports to Yemen amid restrictions put in place by the Saudi Arabia, warning that a further 10 million Yemenis could face starvation by year-end.
