SAADA, Aug. 29 (YPA) – The Saudi army continued its attacks on Yemen’s border areas, targeting civilian homes and property in parts of Saada province in northern Yemen on Saturday.

A security source in the province said the Saudi artillery fired at farms and civilian homes in the Al-Harf area of Baqim district, injuring a civilian and causing property damage.

On Friday, Saudi artillery shelling targeted areas and villages in the Al Thabet area of Qatabir district, a border district in the same province.
