Medical officials from the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa reported at least 45 people killed today, including 20 civilians, when Saudi Arabia attacked the Yemeni Army Headquarters with a series of airstrikes. Over 100 others were reported wounded.
Locals reported four separate air sorties against the area around the Army Headquarters, which is in the middle of a residential district in Sanaa. Several civilian buildings were destroyed over the course of the strikes, along with the army headquarters.
Saudi officials presented these latest attacks as retaliation for a pair of Scud-B missiles fired at them by the Shi’ite Houthis. The missiles were shot down by Patriot missile batteries, and no casualties were reported.
This is, however, the latest in a long series of Saudi airstrikes against Yemeni cities, many of them focusing on military infrastructure in or near residential areas. Hundreds of Yemeni civilians have been killed over the course of the nearly two month long war.
lol, now that is a joke. Saudi Arabia is retaliating against the Houthis for retaliating against the criminal regime of Saudi Arabia who are the war aggressors violating the territorial integrity of Yemen. I hope Yemen can fire hundreds more of these scuds into the saudi oil fields and may their missile defense systems fail.
