Saudi Arabia Intensifies Air Onslaughts on Yemen

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Saudi-led warplanes have been bombarding targets in Yemen’s northern province of Sa'dah for more than 16 times since midnight, media reports said on Saturday.

The air onslaughts on Sa’dah, which are still underway, have completely destroyed six homes in the district, according to Al-Ahed News website.

The raids targeted command centers for the Houthi leader Abdel Malek al-Houthi in several parts of Sa'dah, Saudi state television Al Ekhbariya claimed.

Saudi fighter jets also bombed some districts in the northern province of al-Jawf, which led to the killing and injuring a number of people.

According to a report by the Freedom House Institution in Yemen, the death toll from the Saud-led war on the Arabian Peninsula country has reached 3,553 people.

The report said 6,271 people have also been injured since the beginning of the Saudi regime’s attacks on the country.

Earlier on Friday, Saudi Arabia offered the Houthis a five-day ceasefire. The ceasefire would begin on Tuesday, May 12.

On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to launch deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

The Saudi-led coalition announced on April 21 that its military operation "Decisive Storm" has ended, but hours later, air strikes and ground fighting resumed.
