RNA - Demonstrators expressed support for the army and Ansarullah forces who are defending Yemen against aggressors, press tv reported.

Nearly a dozen civilians have lost their lives when Saudi aircraft carried out an airstrike against a residential neighborhood in Yemen's Southwestern province of Ta'izz, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.

Ten civilians were killed on Saturday afternoon, when Saudi warplanes struck a house in the Red Sea port city of Mukha, South of Sana'a.

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 13,100 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.
