According to regional news sources, Saudi fighter jets targeted various areas of Yemen, including Sana’a, Sa’ada and Hajjah provinces in the north.
Yemeni sources reported that Saudi warplanes bombed several areas of Sana’a, with powerful explosions heard across the capital.
Meanwhile, the Sana’a Governorate said a Saudi airstrike on the Beit al-Hadida area in Sawan, located in Bani Hashish district, killed one student and wounded two others.
The Yemeni Al-Masirah media outlet’s correspondent in Sa’ada also reported that Saudi warplanes carried out several rounds of attacks on the province.
According to the report, the attacks included two airstrikes on southern Sa’ada, two on the Sahar and Al-Safra districts, one on the districts of Kitaf and Al-Baqa, and three additional airstrikes on Sahar.
Yemeni media outlets also reported a new Saudi attack on Hajjah province in northwestern Yemen, although no further details were immediately available.
In a related development, some Yemeni sources reported the overt involvement of UK military in Saudi Arabia’s aggression against residential areas in Yemen, saying British aerial refueling aircraft were operating over Yemen to refuel Saudi warplanes involved in the attacks.
The spokesperson for the so-called Saudi coalition said 100 fighter jets were participating in providing air support to the country’s mercenaries in the war against Yemenis.
The spokesperson also stressed the continuation of 24-hour air support and cover for Saudi mercenary forces in their battle against Yemenis.
The Saudi-led coalition launched a wide-scale military aggression against Yemen in March 2015, claiming it sought to restore Yemen’s resigned government.
Sa’ada province, which borders Saudi Arabia in northern Yemen, has been one of the main targets of the attacks since the beginning of the war.
Hajjah province has also been repeatedly targeted because of its strategic position along northern Yemen’s communication routes.
The war has so far killed and wounded tens of thousands of Yemenis and triggered one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.
Britain has also been a close ally of Saudi Arabia in the aggression, with numerous reports documenting arms sales and logistical support to the Saudi-led coalition.
