Continuing Saudi Arabia’s problem of picking up airstrikes in northern Yemen and not hitting any military targets, the warplanes pounded a residential area in Jawf Province, destroying three houses and killing at least 25.
The victims included a number of women and children, and at least nine civilians were critically wounded on top of the fatalities. Saudi officials, as usual, did not comment on why they attacked the houses.
This was the second round of Saudi airstrikes in north Yemen this week, and in both cases, only civilians were reported killed. Saudi Arabia has yet to respond to either incident. The Saudis are facing deep international criticism for targeting civilians in the war.
Saudi officials have cited attempted strikes by north Yemen’s Houthi movement, though the Houthis have targeted military and government sites, and rarely do much damage. Couched as retaliation, the Saudis rarely hit Houthi targets, but usually just attack Shi’ite neighborhoods.
Another wedding massacre, another war crime by the most barbaric regime on earth……supported and weaponized by the US and it`s vassals.
Earlier this week, a series of Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on the northwestern Yemeni province of Hajjah claimed the lives of nine women and children.

Second to the US, Jim. We could end it but we won’t.
Agree, the profits are astronomic.
Houthis have nothing and use it to hit state infrastructure. Saudis have hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in advanced military technology and use it to murder children in the mud. One these things is not like the other, one of these things is a terrorist.
Guess which one gets you sh*tlisted from Facebook for supporting though? The answer probably won’t surprise you.
