Dozens of people have been killed and many more injured as Saudi military aircraft conducted a fresh round of airborne attacks against several areas across the crisis-stricken Yemen.
On Sunday morning, Saudi fighter jets struck the presidential compounds in al-Nahdain and Jabal al-Naqam neighborhoods of the capital, Sanaa. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage the assaults inflicted.
Saudi warplanes also fired a number of missiles into Faj Attan and al-Hafa military bases on the western outskirts of Sanaa, as well as al-Arqoub military camp, which lies east of the Yemeni capital.
Local sources, requesting anonymity, said at least four civilians, among them a child, lost their lives in the air raids, while several others sustained injuries.
Elsewhere in Yemen, three people were killed and seven others injured when Saudi jets bombarded Qaryat al-Rakab region of the southwestern province of Ta’izz. Witnesses said the bodies of the victims were strewn around and some of them were badly shattered.
Saudi aircraft also completely destroyed a military convoy in al-Barh region as it was heading to the city of Ta’izz, situated 260 kilometers (166 miles) south of Sanna. A number of people were killed and wounded in the attack.
Additionally, Saudi warships launched a number of missiles towards the southwestern seaport city of Aden as well as two areas in the town of Ma’ala.
