Saudi warplanes have bombed the residence of the speaker of the Yemeni parliament, Yahya al-Raei, killing at least one of his sons and injuring some other members of the family.
The casualties were caused after Saudi fighter jets dropped bombs at al-Raei’s residential in Zimar Province on Friday.
According to Yemen’s al-Masirah TV network, the deadly aerial attack destroyed the entire compound and severely damaged nearby buildings.
Al-Raei has reportedly not adopted any stance vis-à-vis the Saudi military campaign against his country.
The Saudi regime and the militants loyal to it have staged several attacks against the residences and offices of several Yemeni leaders opposed to Riyadh’s military aggression against Yemen.
Yemen has been under Saudi military strikes on a daily basis since March 26. The strikes are supposedly meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
Latest figures show the Saudi attacks have killed close to 7,000 Yemenis, including 1,986 children and 1,508 women, in over 200 days.
The Yemeni Army backed by Popular Committees have been retaliating against the Saudi aggression by striking targets on Saudi soil.

Yemeni forces have reportedly killed a number of individuals, including troopers, cooperating with Saudi Arabia in its military aggression against Yemen.
The fatalities were caused during rocket attacks by the Yemeni army forces and allied Popular Committees against the Sahn al-Jin military base located in the oil-rich province of Ma’rib in west-central Yemen late on Thursday, Saba Net news agency reported on Friday.
The attacks also killed an unspecified number of loyalists to Yemen’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

The Yemeni forces also destroyed 17 F-15 fighter planes and 9 Apache helicopters.
About 300 Saudi officers were also injured in the Yemeni missile attack on Khamis Mushait air base.
On Thursday, Yemen’s army fired a Scud missile at Khalid bin Abdulaziz air base in Asir province.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that there is information confirms that Israel assisted Saudi Arabia in its war against Yemen.
On Wednesday, Saudi warplanes bombed the Yemeni Province of Ta’iz, leaving at least 4 civilians dead.
The four civilians were killed in the airstrikes that hit an airport in Ta’iz, reports said.
Also on Wednesday, Saudi air raids hit the Yemeni Province of Sa’ada, killing at least a civilian and injuring several others.
A civilian was killed and three women were injured in Saudi airstrikes on Sa’ada, sources said.
Two houses were reportedly destroyed in the airstrikes on the province.
Meanwhile, Saudi artillery and missile attacks hit various regions in the same province.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 205 days now to restore power to Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,638 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
