Four citizens were killed and 11 others wounded on Monday when the US-Saudi aggression coalition warplanes waged a strike on Hajjah province, a security source said.

The strike hit a citizen’s car in Mostaba district while the car heading to a popular market, the source added

Saudi Arabia started its Yemen military campaign in March 2015 . Four years of war have devastated the country. According to the UN, at least 7,000 civilians have been killed. Thousands of others have died due to disease, poor health care and malnutrition.

The blockade Saudi Arabia imposed on Yemen steadily worsened the country’s hunger problem and health-care crisis. The country is on the brink of a famine. It’s a shame that even when the ceasefire was holding, the Saudis did not halt bombing Yemen. Saudi Arabia appears to be frustrated that it is not able to defeat the Houthis even after years of heavy bombing.
