A pre-dawn Saudi airstrike against the predominantly Shi’ite city of Saada, in northern Yemen, has destroyed a home and killed nine civilians, six of them children. Saudi officials have yet to comment on why the house was attacked.
This has been a problem throughout the Saudi war in Yemen, however, with airstrikes killing a massive number of civilians, particularly in Shi’ite parts of the country, and despite repeated promises to improve their targeting, it keeps happening.
A relative of the victims says that everyone was still asleep when the attack happened, leveling the home and killing all within, three women and six children from an extended family. Local officials say three other civilians were wounded nearby.
Residents in the area took quite some time to even start picking through the ruins of the house to recover the bodies, noting that the Saudi warplanes which attacked continued to circle overhead long after, raising fears they’d attack anyone trying to rescue survivors, which has also been common practice in the Saudi air war.
The Saudis really WANT that land….and will do anything they can to get rid of the people now living on it. Cholera was easily introduced just like it was in Haiti….this is biowarfare and no one is screaming bloody murder about it….. now they are killing civilians….. These monsters are on the same level as the Israelis and Gaza only worse and no one is doing anything about it…..
Where is big mouth Nikki Haley and all the crocodile tears human rights groups? Totally silent on the massive war crimes being committed by this wonderful Wahhabi terrorist state called Saudi Arabia.
the orange clown just sold 100 billion dollars of weapons to the saudi govmnt, then they attack the country of yemen with our support, and kill civilians, why is the dirty clown not impeached?
