Uthe Saudi air strike has caused nine deaths and at least 16 wounded today in Yemen have announced the Huthis as the fighting continues between both sides.

 

According to the news agency Saba, linked to the pro-Iranian movement fighting the Yemeni government supported by Riyadh, the attack targeted a house in the province of Saada, a stronghold of the Houthis, and the victims are “mostly women and children”.

The coalition led by Saudi Arabia carries out daily air raids in Yemen following the resumption in July — after years of calm — of the conflict in 2014.

Since the beginning of October, the Huthis, for their part, have multiplied attacks of unprecedented magnitude against the Saudi kingdom, targeting in particular its oil and airport infrastructure.

Two members of the Saudi National Guard died in the crash of a helicopter in Najran. The Huthis claimed the slaughter of the device, while the government pointed to a technical failure.
