At least 18 civilians have been martyred in Saudi Arabia’s multiple aerial strikes across war-torn Yemen during the past 24 hours.
According to Press TV, Saudi fighter jets bombarded Khawlan al-Tayyal district in the Western Yemeni Province of Sana'a on Friday, martyring at least 11 people, including women and children, and injuring a number of others, including two children.
The victims were all travelling in a vehicle when it came under Saudi fire, Yemen's al-Masirah television channel reported on Friday.
The Saudi warplanes also launched several airstrikes on different localities in the Northwestern Province of Sa'ada. Initial reports said at least two people were martyred in the province's Ghamar district as a result of the airstrikes.
Elsewhere in the West-Central Province of Ma'rib, at least five other Yemenis lost their lives when Saudi jets pounded Sirwah district.
Saudi warplanes also bombarded areas in the Northern Province of Jawf and in the Western Provinces of Amran and Hajjah, but there have been no immediate reports about the possible casualties.
