Saudi airstrikes leave five more civilians martyred in southern Yemen
At least five civilians have been martyred when Saudi military aircraft carried out airstrikes against a residential area in Yemen’s strategic western province of Hudaydah as the Riyadh regime presses ahead with its atrocious bombardment campaign against its southern neighbor.
Saudi fighter jets conducted aerial assaults against bee farms in Jobaneh area of the al-Hali district on Monday morning, an unnamed local source told Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network.
Later in the day, Yemeni army soldiers and allied fighters from Popular Committees targeted and destroyed a military vehicle belonging to Saudi troops in the Hawamra area of Yemen's southwestern province of Lahij, leaving a number of them dead and injured.
Elsewhere in the northern Yemeni province of Jawf, army soldiers and their allies lobbed a salvo of artillery rounds at the positions of Saudi-backed militiamen loyal to Yemen's former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in the al-Ghayl district, killing and injured some of them.
Moreover, a civilian suffered injuries and a car went up in flames when Saudi border guards fired shots at al-Raqou area in the Monabbih district of Yemen’s mountainous northwestern province of Sa’ada.
Meanwhile, scores of activists have staged a demonstration in the United States to express their resentment against the Saudi-led military aggression on Yemen, and the crippling blockade against the conflict-plagued Arab country.
The demonstrators carried the pictures of the victims of the Saudi-led war during a protest rally, organized by a number of American civil and human rights organizations, in the downtown of New York, and shouted “Stop Killing Children of Yemen.”
The participants also held up signs in condemnation of crimes being committed by the Saudi-led alliance against the Yemeni nation, calling on the United Nations and the international community to intervene immediately and stop such atrocities.
