Alwaght- Saudi-led Coalitions fighter jets have killed at least 10 civilians in the southwestern Yemeni province of Ta’izz in newest attacks against the neighboring Arab state.
According to Yemeni al-Masirah television network, the attacks targeted the province’s As Silw district on Saturday, adding that at least three women were among those killed.
Saudi warplanes also hit the Nihm district in the Sana’a Province in west-central Yemen and another location in the Shabwah Province in the impoverished country’s south.
Separately, a blast was reported at a checkpoint in the Crater district in the southwestern province of Aden, leaving at least three people dead. The details of the attack are yet to be announced.
Saudi Arabia launched its aggression against Yemen late in March 2015, in an unsuccessful bid to reinstate Riyadh-based Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who has resigned as Yemen’s president as well as to undermine the Ansarullah resistance movement.
According to UN report, released late on August, Saudi's relentless war on the neighboring Muslim country has claimed lives of over 10,000 Yemenis, amid countless reports suggesting the deliberate and indiscriminate targeting of civilian infrastructure.
However a huge rise in death toll is likely, beacuse since August the Saudi regime has carried out scores of lethal attacks on different Yemeni residential areas that in the deadliest one over 140 civilians were killed when warplanes hit a funeral site. Moreover, many people are often buried without official records.
“We know the numbers are much higher but we can’t tell you by how much," UN humanitarian official McGoldrick told reporters in August, adding “The figures we have are probably incomplete because we take the numbers from functioning health services, and in some of these areas there are no functioning health services.”
