Saudi coalition officials have announced a new round of airstrikes
against an industrial area in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Thursday.
The strikes centered on the al-Jeraf neighborhood.
According to the coalition statement, the attack targeted two industrial
buildings. They claimed one was manufacturing drones and the other
contained launch pads. The locals, however, told a very different story.
According to locals, the strikes hit a plastics factory, starting a
large fire, and a neighboring warehouse. On top of that, an additional
strike hit a nearby house, though there were no casualties reported.
Still, the strikes caused a panic in the neighborhood, and the fires
caused a fair bit of damage. Such strikes have been increasingly common
across northern Yemen, where the Saudi forces have been carrying out
such strikes for over four years.
