At Least 12 Yemenis Killed in Fresh Saudi Airstrikes
Saudi warplanes bombed Yemen’s province of Ta’iz on Saturday, leaving at least 12 civilians dead.
Saudi fighter jets pounded a residential neighborhood in the al-Wazi’iyah district in Ta’iz, leaving 12 civilians dead and 13 others injured.
Saudi military aircraft also pounded other districts in the same province as well as the capital, Sana’a, though there were no immediate reports of casualties.
The developments came a day after a woman was killed and several others were injured when Saudi warplanes pounded the Maqbanah district of Ta’iz Province.
Saudi aircraft also dropped cluster bombs on Ash Sharijah district in the Yemeni Province of al-Bayda, but no reports of casualties were immediately available.
Meanwhile, Yemeni army and Popular Committees targeted Saudi military vehicles in al-Rabu’ah town of the Saudi region of Asir on Saturday, destroying three of them.
An unspecified number of Saudi-backed militiamen loyal to fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour were also killed and injured when Yemeni forces launched an offensive in the al-Omari district in Ta’iz Province.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 248 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 7,010 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.
