Saudi warplanes have martyred at least 15 civilians in Yemen’s Southwestern Province of Ta’izz.
According to local media reports, the Saudi jets attacked a minibus carrying civilians in the Shar’eb region of the provinces.
Saudi planes also targeted a gas station and a power plant in multiple raids on the Provinces of Sa’ada, Hajjah, and Amran.
Since Friday, Riyadh’s jets have hit the three northern provinces over 50 times, causing vast destruction and casualties. At least 11 people, including two children, martyred in a series of attacks on Sa’ada.
In another attack on Friday, nearly a dozen civilians, including two children, were martyred and several others injured when Saudi military aircraft attacked various residential areas across the country.
Yemen has seen almost daily military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March 2015, with internal sources putting the martyrdom toll from the bloody aggression at about 10,000. The offensive was launched to crush the Ansarullah movement and their allies and restore power to the resigned Yemeni President, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
