Saudi air strikes targeted Faj Attan in Sana'a

Saudi-led fighter jets once again conducted air strikes on Faj Attan district in the Yemeni capital of Sana'a.

Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Saudi-led fighter jets once again conducted air strikes on Faj Attan district in the Yemeni capital of Sana'a.

The Saudi air strikes targeted Faj Attan in Sana'a on Wednesday.

Also on Tuesday night, five Saudi airstrikes pounded Faj Attan district, leaving a large number of innocent people dead in the nearby areas.

Faj Attan is house to a military base surrounded by residential areas.

The Saudi fighter jets have repeatedly attacked Faj Attan on the Western outskirts of Sana'a in the last 35 days, but in almost an overwhelming majority of cases have missed the targets and killed tens of people in adjacent residential districts in the last one month.

Saudi Arabia launched its bombing campaign against Yemen on March 26 in an attempt to restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

The Monarchy's attacks have so far claimed the lives of at least 3,024 civilians, mostly women and children.

Meanwhile, according to a report by Yemen's Freedom House Foundation, Saudi airstrikes have killed 3,512 Yemeni people, including 492 children and 209 women, since the beginning of the aggression until April 25.

The report added that 6,189 people were injured, including 978 children and 713 women, during the same period.

About 95,000 families have been displaced due to the Saudi-led airstrikes, according to the report.

The foundation further said 4,898 residential buildings have been either destroyed or damaged and some 857 civil service and public utility facilities have been destroyed.

On April 21, after four weeks of bombings, Riyadh declared end to military operations in Yemen, but Saudi warplanes are still bombing residential areas across the war-ravaged nation one week after.
