Three Civilians Wounded in Saudi Air Raids on Yemen’s Saada


SAADA (Dispatches) – Three citizens, including a woman, were wounded on Saturday in airstrikes and missile attacks by Saudi jets on Saada province, a security official told Saba.
The official said that the aggression warplanes launched six airstrikes on water digger machine in al-Mahather area of Sahar district, wounding two citizens and destroying the digger.
The official pointed out that the Saudis targeted various areas of Razih district by missile and artillery shells, which led to the injury of the woman, causing material damage to the citizens' properties.
At least 13,600 people have lost their lives since the onset of Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against Yemen in 2015, which is meant to reinstall the country’s former Riyadh-friendly government and crush its popular Houthi Ansarullah movement.
Much of the Arabian Peninsula country’s infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war.
The Saudi-led war has also triggered a deadly cholera epidemic across Yemen and pushed the country to the verge of famine.
The Houthi movement, backed by allied forces, has been defending the country against the Saudi aggression.
