Coalition air strikes continue targeting civil areas over 24 hours: Army Spokesman

SANAA, Dec. 12 (YPA) – The Yemeni army spokesman Brigadier General Yahia Sarie, said the Saudi-led coalition fighter jets continued in targeting civil areas and citizens’ property over the past 24 hours.

In a statement on Wednesday, Sarie affirmed the fighter jets waged 22 strikes simultaneously with artillery and missile attacks from their militiamen on residential neighborhoods in Hodeidah city.

The coalition’s attacks came in line of the UN-backed peace consultations in Sweden and that contradict with the peace efforts,” Sarie said.

The spokesman said the Yemeni army repelled several of the attacks towards several fronts, killing and injuring scores of the militiamen.

The spokesman stressed that the Yemeni army has the right to respond to any military escalation by the coalition.
