Saudi warplanes have carried out fresh airstrikes on several areas in Yemen as the kingdom is continuing its relentless military aggression against its southern neighbor.

Late on Saturday, the fighter jets conducted attacks on the northwestern Yemeni province of Hajjah. Saudi jets also bombed a fuel station and several houses in the Bayt al-Faqih district in Yemen’s western province of Hudaydah.

Moreover, two Saudi air raids hit the Sirwah district in the central province of Ma'rib.

Also on Saturday, Saudi fighter jets pounded the Baqim district of the northwestern Sa'ada province.

In response to the Saudi raids, Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters and allied army units targeted two Saudi bases with shells and artillery fire in the southwestern Dhahran al-Janub region.

Saudi Arabia launched its attacks against Yemen on March 26 – without a UN mandate – to restore power to fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh, and to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

Over 4,300 people have lost their lives in the conflict since late March, according to the World Health Organization. Local Yemeni sources, however, say the fatality figure is much higher.
