Saudi-led airstrikes continue across Yemen for 12th day – YouTube
Airstrikes by Saudi Arabia and its allies against Yemen continue for the
twelfth consecutive day, with warplanes bombing a power plant in the
northern Sa’ada province. Also, four air raids have been conducted
against Sha’af and Jabal bin Arji areas in Sa’ada. Eight members of a
family including women and children, were killed in bombardments
overnight. Some 225 people, most of them civilians, have been killed so
far in Saudi-led bombardments across Yemen. Meanwhile, the International
Committee of the Red Cross says it has received permission to send an
aid cargo plane to Sana’a. Saudi Arabia and its allies have already
blocked three aid shipments bound for Yemeni cities. The ICRC has called
for a 24-hour humanitarian ceasefire in Aden.
Yemen’s Ansarullah gains more grounds despite Saudi airstrikes
Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters are gaining more ground in the southern city of Aden, despite the Saudi-led airstrikes which Riyadh says are aimed at halting their advance.
The fighters, known as Houthis, have advanced into the districts of Mualla and Qalwa’a in Aden. They’ve been engaged in fierce clashes with al-Qaeda militants and remnants of fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi over the past two weeks. In their latest battles, the Houthis have taken off the air an Aden TV station loyal to Hadi. Ansarullah fighters are struggling to secure the city amid Saudi operations to hamper their efforts. On Saturday and Sunday, Riyadh airdropped arms for groups fighting the Houthis in Aden. The city is one of the footholds of the remnants of Hadi regime.
