The Saudi warplanes bombed residential areas across Yemen on Saturday, killing 8 civilians, Al-Alam News Network reports.

The Saudi fighter jets hit various areas in Lahij province, killing 8 civilians and wounding 20 others.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 129 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

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.

The Monarchy's attacks have so far claimed the lives of at least 5,329 civilians, mostly women and children.
