SANA’A (Dispatches) – Local media in Yemen said on Monday that two civilians were killed in Saada province in the north of the country in an artillery attack.
A report by the Yemeni al-Masirah TV website said that two Yemeni civilians were martyred in artillery attacks on Monday morning in Shada’a district in Saada province, located in the north of the impoverished country.
The incident comes a day after two other Yemenis were injured in a similar attack by the aggressing coalition on the Shada’a District.
These attacks were carried out while the political efforts to resolve the crisis in Yemen are still ongoing in light of the developments in the region.
The leader of Yemen’s popular resistance Ansarullah movement said last week that Saudi Arabia can only secure peace for itself by stopping its hostilities against Yemen and lifting a blockade that it has been exercising alongside its allies against the impoverished country.
“The Saudi regime can only achieve peace, security, and stability through implementing peace for Yemeni people, and lifting the blockade on them,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised address.
“It is possible for the Saudi and Emirati regimes to stop their aggression against Yemen in a fair and correct manner,” he added.
Saudi Arabia started a brutal war of aggression against Yemen in March 2015, enlisting the assistance of some of its allies, including the United Arab Emirates.
The war, which has enjoyed generous arms, logistical, and political support from the United States and several other Western governments, has been seeking to restore power in Yemen to the country’s former Riyadh- and Washington-friendly government.
The former Yemeni government’s president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi resigned from the presidency in late 2014 and later fled to Riyadh amid a political conflict with Ansarullah. The movement has been running Yemen’s affairs in the absence of a functioning administration.
