RNA - Saudi fighter jets conducted aerial assaults against bee farms in Jobaneh area of the al-Hali district on Monday morning, an unnamed local source told Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of Hadi back to power and crushing the country’s popular Ansarullah movement.

Some 17,500 Yemenis have been killed and thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led aggression.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
