Coalition steps up rocketry shelling, airstrikes on Saada

SAADA, June 6 (YPA) – In contrast to the victories of the Yemeni army and the popular committees on several fronts, the coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE intensified its bombardment on residential areas of Saada province, northern Yemen, leaving casualties and damage to property.

“The coalition warplanes waged 17 raids on separate areas of the border district of Baqem during the past hours,” a security source in the province said on Wednesday.

In conjunction with the air raids, the Saudi army stepped up its rocketry and artillery bombardment on the populated areas in the province, he added.

He confirmed that Saudi bombardment targeted villages of the border district of Monabeh and caused large damage to citizens’ property.

On Tuesday, a civilian was injured by the Saudi army mercenaries fire in a village of the border district of Razih.
