Saudi warplanes have, “for the
first time,” launched an attack on a radio station in northern Yemen, while six
civilians are killed in similar raids on the capital, San'a.
The strike happened on Sunday in northern Sa’ada province, according to
Press TV’s correspondent in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia’s deadly war on Yemen
rages on with jet fighters targeting various locations in the impoverished
country.
Also, the northern province of Sa’ada,
which is close to the Saudi border, was the target of multiple airstrikes.
In the western part of the country,
Saudi fighter jets bombarded the Hudaydah International Airport several
times.
In another attack, “Saudi Arabia has
killed at least 6 civilians” and injured 10 others in the Al Khafji area on the
outskirts of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.
According to the correspondent, Yemen’s
Houthi Ansarullah movement unveiled on Sunday a new missile that can hit deep
into Saudi territory.
The missile is called “Zilzal,”
literally meaning "earthquake" in the Arabic language.
Ansarullah fighters have in the past
launched rocket attacks on Saudi border cities, including the strategic southern
city of Najran in retaliation for Riyadh’s deadly airstrikes against the Yemeni
people.
The Yemeni army has reportedly captured a military position inside Saudi
Arabia near the Yemeni border
In recent weeks, several rocket attacks
by Yemeni forces targeted military positions in the Saudi border cities of
Najran and Dhahran al-Janub.
Yemen has been under Saudi airstrikes
since March 26. The military aggression, carried out without a UN mandate, is
meant to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbu Mansour
Hadi, who is a close ally of the Riyadh regime.
According to the UN, about 2,000 people
have been killed, 7,330 others injured and more than 500,000 displaced as a
result of the conflict in Yemen.
UN Special Representative to Yemen IsmailOuld Cheikh Ahmed has reportedly
left the country after a 2-day visit aimed at reviving an internal dialog.
The UN official, according to Press TV, left Yemen because of ongoing bomb
attacks by Saudi warplanes.
