Alwaght- Three Yemeni civilians were killed after Saudi border guards launched barrages of artillery rounds at two residential areas in Sa’ada province.
Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported that a civilian was killed when projectiles fired by Saudi military forces slammed into the Shada'a district of the province on Saturday.
Saudi troops also pounded Raqou area in the Monabbih district of the same Yemeni province, leaving two civilians dead.
Hudaydah truce violated over 330 times in 24 hours
Furthermore, forces of the Saudi-led military coalition and their mercenaries violated 338 times during the past 24 hours a ceasefire agreement between warring sides for the western coastal province of Hudaydah.
Yemen’s official Saba news agency, citing an unnamed source in Yemen’s Liaison and Coordination Officers Operations Room, reported that the violations included 13 reconnaissance flights over various regions, including al-Faza, al-Durayhimi, al-Jabaliya and al-Tuhaita districts, in addition to 206 counts of artillery shelling and 287 shooting incidents.
Yemeni drone strike on Khamis Mushait
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition claimed in a statement that the city of Khamis Mushait in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern province of 'Asir was targeted by Yemeni army troops and fighters from their allied Popular Committees.
Although Yemeni forces have not yet confirmed the drone attack, the Saudi-led coalition alleged to have intercepted and destroyed a Yemeni unmanned aerial vehicle.
Yemeni officials, including spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree, have repeatedly stressed that Saudi military areas are under the direct attack of Yemeni missiles and drones.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and regional allies, launched a war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing the popular Ansarullah resistance movement.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases.
Yemeni armed forces and allied Popular Committees have, however, gone from strength to strength against the Saudi-led invaders, and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
