Yemeni sources said 9 people were killed and 11 civilians wounded in a Saudi airstrike on a residential house in the city of Sahar in the border province of Saada.

The strike took place on Sunday and caused extensive humanitarian consequences. Earlier today, Saudi Arabia also carried out two airstrikes on the city of Al-Khawkhah in Yemen’s Red Sea coastal province of Hodeidah.

Yahya Saree, spokesman for Yemen’s armed forces, said Saudi air force had carried out 53 air and missile strikes on various areas of Yemen over the past 24 hours, including Sanaa, Taiz, Amran, Ibb, Lahj and Saada.

The attacks were carried out using F-15 and Typhoon aircraft that took off from the Khamis Mushait and Taif bases. Since the escalation in tensions, the number of Saudi air and missile strikes against Yemen has reached 2,542, causing worsening insecurity and widespread harm to civilians.
