Saudi aggression
The Yemeni operations come as Saudi fighter jets continue to pound different areas across Yemen.
Saudi warplanes bombarded several areas in Yemen’s northwestern Sa’ada Province more than 30 times, leaving several people dead or hurt.
Saudi jets also targeted a military base in the capital city of Sana’a, according to the Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network.
Homes were further destroyed in the Saudi air raids on a district in Yemen’s southwestern province of Ta’izz.
Yemen has been under Saudi military strikes on a daily basis since March 26. The military campaign is supposedly meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and return Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh, to power.
According to the latest tally, at least 7,000 people have lost their lives in the Saudi strikes, and a total of nearly 14,000 people have been injured so far; Press TV reported.
