The Saudi-led coalition war jets waged on Wednesday raids on scattered areas in Taiz province, leaving casualties and damages to houses and facilities.

The airstrikes targeted al-Jahamaliah and Hasanat neighborhoods in Sala district south of Taiz city, which led to injuring many civilians and damaging tens of houses and cars, a local official said in a statement.

He explained that the aggression warplanes bombed Al-Saeed Institute in Hifan district, causing large damage to it, as well as other raids targeted the Green Area.

Local officials in the coastal district of Mokha confirmed to Saba that drones belonging to the Saudi-led coalition waged several strikes on Mokha Port, ruining several facilities in the port.

The official condemned the horrid massacres being committed by the Saudi-led coalition against civilians, demanding the international community and the United Nations to bear their ethical, humanitarian and legal responsibility in stopping the aggression crimes.
