Saudi-led coalition launches new airstrikes on Yemen
The Saudi-led military coalition waging war on Yemen has intensified its aggression by launching a new round of airstrikes on the country, including in the capital, Sana’a.
Yemen’s al-Masirah reported late on Wednesday that airstrikes had targeted the central provinces of Ma’rib and al-Bayda, the northern provinces of al-Jawf and Hajjah, and the northwestern province of Sa’ada throughout the day.
Bombings in Sa’ada left at least two civilians dead and four others injured, and also led to the death of livestock, according to al-Masirah.
An unnamed source with the Yemeni military said that during the past 24 hours, the Saudi-led military coalition and its mercenaries had violated a 2018 agreement between the warring sides 82 times.
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee of Yemen, condemned the Saudi aggression late on Wednesday and called on the Arab League to seek a comprehensive solution to the conflict in Yemen.
The new Saudi-led strikes come amid new advances by the Yemeni military. A spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces said on Monday that the military had retaken large swathes of land in al-Bayda and Ma’rib.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating war on Yemen in an attempt to subdue a popular uprising that toppled a puppet regime of Riyadh.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the past five years.
More than half of Yemen’s hospitals and clinics have been destroyed or closed during the war by the Saudi-led coalition, which is supported militarily by the UK, the US, and other Western nations.
