SANAA – The Yemeni Armed Forces have condemned a relentless campaign of aerial aggression by Saudi enemy warplanes, which carried out 35 airstrikes against civilian infrastructure and non-military sites across five Yemeni provinces within a 24-hour period.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the official spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, announced in a statement on Tuesday evening that the enemy’s F-15 and Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets launched the attacks from Saudi air bases, specifically the King Khalid Air Base near Khamis Mushait and Taif.
According to the military spokesperson, the targeted areas spanned the southwestern province of Ta’izz, the northwestern provinces of al-Jawf, ‘Amran, and Sa’ada, as well as the western province of Hudaydah. Gen. Saree emphasised that the Saudi aggression deliberately targeted and damaged vital civilian facilities, telecommunications networks, schools, bridges, and public roads.
The statement noted that these blatant violations and attacks on civilian life and property have brought the total number of Saudi air and missile strikes to 1,158 since the current escalation began.
Meanwhile, local sources speaking to Yemeni al-Masirah TV reported that Saudi fighter jets conducted three separate airstrikes against the Harf Sufyan district in ‘Amran province.
The violence was not limited to aerial bombardments. In the al-Talilah village of the Maqbanah district in Ta’izz province, a young girl was martyred when artillery rounds fired by Saudi-backed mercenary forces struck the residential area.
Furthermore, the report detailed intense bombardment in Sa’ada province, where Saudi military aircraft executed 17 strikes against the Sahar district starting in the early hours of Tuesday. The enemy jets also launched four airstrikes on the al-Safra district and three more on the al-Dhaher district in the same province.
The ongoing bombardment highlights the continued failure of the Saudi-led aggression to abide by any humanitarian or moral standards, as they persistently target the besieged Yemeni populace and their vital infrastructure.
