Their missiles and artillery shells as well as targeted Saudi soldiers and paid fighters off Alab crossing,and they shot dead a Saudi soldier and artillery shells targeted saudi paid fighters gatherings in Al-Raboa’ah, Asir.

Separately, the coalition fighter jets and artillery units launched two airstrikes and a barrage of projectiles at the Shada’a district of the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada. There were no immediate reports about possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

The Yemeni Ministry of Health also revised the death toll from an earlier Saudi airstrike against a residential area in the al-Durayhimi district of Hudaydah province, stating that the number of deaths now stands at 13, based on public health records. Twenty-two people have also suffered injuries.

The ministry added that ongoing Saudi aerial attacks have prevented ambulances and medics from reaching the area, calling on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to intervene in order to help the wounded.

In March 2015, the coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite coalition’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

A UN panel has compiled a detailed report of civilian casualties caused by the Saudi military and its allies during their war against Yemen, saying the coalition has used precision-guided munitions in its raids on civilian targets.

Sayyad Abdulmalik AL-Houthi claimed on one of his speech that Saudi Arabia is just a tool used by USA and Israel to fight Yemen to conquer it and wrestle control over Red Sea and Bab-AL-Mandab which will enable them to rule the world.

According to several reports, the coalition air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.
