Alwaght- Saudi-led coalition has vowed to continue its merciless air war against the Yemeni people following a missile strike by the Yemeni resistance forces that killed almost 70 coalition troops.
Reports say Saudi-led forces dropped several bombs on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a on Sunday.
The United Arab Emirates had pledged to quickly avenge its heaviest ever military loss after 45 of its troops were killed in Friday's missile attack, along with 10 Saudis and five Bahrainis.
Coalition warplanes struck points on the Nahdain and Fajj Attan hills and the neighboring presidential complex, south of Sana'a, as well as Special Forces headquarters.
Also areas in the northern neighborhoods of Sufan and Al-Nahda were targeted , forcing scores of residents to flee, the witnesses said.
Witnesses said Sunday's bombardment was one of the heaviest since the brutal air campaign began.
Meanwhile, normally bustling areas of the capital remained empty and shops were mostly shuttered.
On Friday, the Yemeni army and the popular committees fired a Toshka ballistic missile on a military gathering in Safer which lies in Marib province. The attacks killed 45 UAE troops 5 from Bahrain. Saudi Arabia also admitted on Saturday that ten of its soldiers were also killed in the Toshka operation. In a statement, the Ansarullah movement said their forces had killed "dozens of officers and troops of the mercenaries in the Saudi aggression" when they fired a Tochka ballistic missile at the Safer base occupied by UAE troops.
The strike was "revenge for the crimes and the war of extermination being carried out by the Saudi aggressor and its mercenaries", the statement added.
Yemeni army, backed by popular committees and tribal fighters have been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and cleansing several areas across the country, especially the country’s south, from Hadi and al-Qaeda-linked terrorists.
Yemeni sources say over 5,500 have been killed and many more injured since March when the Saudi regime launched its atrocious war against the impoverished state. The vast majority of the war casualties are civilians especially women and children.
A significant number of governmental buildings, schools, shops, gas stations, markets, stadiums and mosques have been destroyed in the brutal Saudi attacks which have been described by human rights organizations as war crimes.
