Saudi airstrikes kill 11 civilians in northwestern Yemen

Saudi-led airstrikes against Yemen have killed 11 civilians in the northwestern province of Sa’ada amid the escalation of war against the impoverished country.

Saudi jets targeted residential areas in Ghamr District, killing eight people, including two women and a child, Yemen's al-Masirah TV channel reported on Thursday.

Three civilians were also killed in another Saudi airstrike against Razih District.

On Wednesday, more than 50 people were killed and over 80 others wounded during Saudi airstrikes against the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and other cities in Sa'ada and the southwestern province of Ta’izz.

According to latest figures, the war has so far killed over 12,000 Yemenis and wounded thousands more. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on the country's facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.

The World Health Organization figures show that around 960,000 suspected cases of cholera and 2,219 deaths have been documented since the deadly epidemic broke out in April in the impoverished country, where 8 million people also face war-triggered famine.
