Saudi Arabia Violates Yemen Ceasefire Again

Local Editor

The Saudi regime has once again violated the ceasefire in Yemen, carrying out airstrikes on the impoverished Arab country.

On Friday, Riyadh launched rocket attacks against several areas in the Yemeni province of Saada. Yemen's al-Masirah news website reported that the rockets hit residential areas in Shada district.

Six people were martyred in airstrikes by Saudi warplanes on Saada and the province of Amran on Thursday.

Accordingly, the Yemeni army and popular committees launched retaliatory operations on Saudi military positions in the southwestern province of Jizan.

Based on al-Masirah, the Yemeni forces fired rockets and artillery shells at the Saudi military camp of Mosem and other posts in the east of the town of Samtah on Friday.

About 10,000 Yemenis had been martyred since the regime in Riyadh launched its deadly campaign against Yemen in March 2015.

The Saudi military aggression was meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and to restore power to Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh and Yemen's president who has resigned and fled the capital. Hadi seeks to force his way back into power.

A 72-hour ceasefire went into effect in Yemen shortly before Wednesday midnight to allow aid to reach families trapped in towns and villages cut off by months of fighting.

Yemeni forces had been engaged in retaliatory operations against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
