Ten people have been killed in rocket attacks by Saudi military vessels against a residential neighborhood in Yemen’s southwestern coastal province of Taiz.
Unnamed local sources said the Saudi craft fired a barrage of rockets at a village in the Maqbanah district of the province, which is situated 346 kilometers south of the capital, Sanaa, on Tuesday morning, also injuring dozens of people injured, Arabic-language Saba news agency reported.
Shortly afterward, Saudi military aircraft carried out an airstrike against a truck as it was traveling along a road in the al-Khawkhah district of the western coastal province, of Hudaydah. The attack claimed the life of a civilian.
Additionally, five people were killed and two others injured when Saudi fighter jets pounded a market in the Haydan district of the northwestern province of Saada.
Saudi jets also launched three attacks against an area in the Red Sea port city of Mukha, though no reports of casualties and the extent of damage inflicted were reported.
Meanwhile, the United Nations (UN) humanitarian coordinator for Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, says the nearly two-year conflict in the impoverished Arab country has claimed the lives of 10,000 people and left 40,000 others wounded.
McGoldrick told reporters in Sana’a that the figure is based on lists of victims gathered by health facilities and that the actual number might be higher.
