The Air Force launched an attack, with drone Qasef 1, on Sunday, a leadership meeting of the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US,, in Marib, killing and injuring a number of them. A military source confirmed that the operation comes in response the coalition’s escalation.
Their Rocketry Force , on Sunday, lanched two ballistic missiles, Badr P-1, on US-Saudi mercenaries camp in Alab crossing in Asir and Nehim, leaving big losses amid the coalition’s ranks.
The coalition waged more than 100 raids since UN envoy, Martin Griffiths, left Sanaa two days ago and his announcement about a consensus on the participation of all parties in the forthcoming negotiations in Sweden.
Few hours after the departure of Griffiths, the coalition stepped up its military operations again.
During the last forty-eight hours, the coalition fighter jets launched nearly a hundred air raids on various areas of Yemen, focusing their bombing on the provinces of Hodeidah, Hajjah and Saada, which resulted in dozens of dead and wounded and large damage.
“The coalition pretends that there is a cessation of the war, while in fact it did not stop to escalate,” said Hizam al-Assad, a member of Ansaruallah political bureau.
The spokesman says the uptick in the coalition’s airstrikes on the strategic port city of Hodeidah will eventually frustrate efforts by United Nations Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths to rekindle peace talks in Sweden next month.
Hodeidah province’s internally displaced people(IDP) held a protest rally in al-Mahwait province to condemn the war crimes committed by the coalition in Yemen.The participants denounced the systematic economic war being waged by the coalition, which exacerbated the humanitarian situation.The protesters held the international community the full responsibility towards the coalition’s crimes and violation against the Yemeni people.
Saudi media , for its part, admitted that two of its soldiers were killed and six others wounded during military confrontations with the Yemeni army forces in border fronts.
Humanitarian organizations working in Yemen called on the US to end support for the coalition against the drop back of its role in the war on Yemen.The joint statement was issued by OXFAM, Care, International Rescue Committee, Save the Children, and The Norwegian Refugee Council, five of the biggest international aid organizations operating in Yemen.
In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led 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 60,000 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 the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
