SAEDNEWS: Yemen’s Armed Forces Launch Six Missile and Drone Strikes Against Saudi Targets After Deadly Airstrikes Near Sanaa
According to Saednews, The Saudi fighter jets bombed the village of Al-Shariyah in the Bani Hushaysh district, east of Sanaa, causing heavy civilian casualties, according to Yemen’s Health Ministry spokesman, Anis al-Asbahi.
Al-Asbahi stated that the death toll had risen to 33, including eight women and 13 children, while 39 others were injured and remained under medical treatment.
The attack on the residential area resulted in a major humanitarian tragedy, with civilians bearing the heaviest consequences of the Saudi military assault.
In retaliation, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced six military operations targeting locations inside Saudi Arabia, using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.
Subsequently, explosions were reported in several parts of the kingdom, including Riyadh and Najran, prompting air-raid warning sirens to sound in both areas.
Reuters also reported that several explosions were heard across the Saudi capital.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition confirmed that two ballistic missiles had been launched by the Yemeni Armed Forces toward Riyadh.
The spokesman claimed that Saudi air defense systems had successfully intercepted and destroyed both missiles, reiterating claims previously made by the coalition in similar incidents.
