Two citizens injured in Saudi bombing on Saada

SAADA, Nov. 25 (YPA) – Yemen’s border areas were on Tuesday subjected to Saudi air and artillery attacks, which led to injuring two civilian and damage to farms.

According to security sources in Saada province in northern Yemen, the Saudi army deliberately targeted residential areas in the border district of Manbah using heavy and medium weapons.

Medical sources in Saada confirmed that one of the wounded was described as serious, while attempts were being made to transfer the wounded to the hospital despite the continuous shelling, which endangered ambulance crews and rescue teams.

Earlier in the day, security sources in the same province announced that a Saudi drone dropped a bomb on the Al-Sheikh area in the Manbah district, and did not mention details of what resulted in the bombing.

The ongoing Saudi escalation in the Yemeni border areas has been threatened to undermine the existing path of calm between Sana’a and Riyadh, in light of US-Israeli attempts to push the Saudi coalition to launch a new war on Yemen.

A statistical report issued on Monday by the security of Saada province had revealed 76 violations by the Saudi army against villages and northern border areas of Yemen during the month.

According to the report, the violations included 24 artillery bombings and 51 violations by direct fire by the Saudi enemy border guards towards civilians, in addition to one case of Saudi aerial attack, stressing that these violations resulted in the death of 14 civilians and the injury of 65 others.
