15 people killed in another round of Saudi airstrikes across Yemen

At least 15 people were killed Friday in another round of airstrikes carried out by Saudi warplanes across Yemen, local media say.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television said one woman was killed and her two children sustained injuries when Saudi jets bombed a house in Bani Suraim District of the northwestern province of Amran.

At least 14 people were also killed in similar strikes on a residential area in Jabal Habashi region of the southwestern province of Ta'izz.

Saudi warplanes also pounded the Masloub district of the northern province of Jawf. There was no immediate report on casualties.

Saudi Arabia continues to bomb Yemen causing more death and destruction to its impoverished neighboring Arab state.

On March 15, Saudi warplanes bombed a crowded market in the province of Hajjah. The strike killed 119 people, including 22 children, drawing international condemnation. The UN children’s agency strongly condemned the deadly airstrike.

Riyadh has been under fire from international organizations and rights groups over the rising number of civilian casualties in Yemen.

On March 22, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch called on the United States, Britain and France - the largest arms suppliers to the regime in Riyadh - to stop arms deliveries to Saudi Arabia.
