Update 3: Coalition forces attack populated villages in Saada

SAADA, July 13 (YPA) – The US-backed Saudi-led coalition forces on Saturday targeted civilians with rockets and artillery shells in several populated villages in Saada province, northern Saada.

The official said that populated villages of the border district of Monabeh were bombed by Saudi rockets and artillery shells, which caused large damage to citizens’ homes and property.

On Friday, a citizen was wounded by an explosion of a bomb from the remnants of international-banned weapons dropped by the coalition aircrafts on Akwan area in al-Safra district of Saada.

In the same district also an airstrike waged by the coalition’s warplanes hit Al al-Sayfi area, while Saudi rocketry and artillery bombardment targeted several areas of the border district of Razih.

This comes in the context of daily crimes committed by the coalition against civilians and their property in Saada and the rest of the provinces of the country over more than four years.
