SRINAGAR: Saudi aircraft carried out 40 airstrikes across four Yemeni provinces on Thursday, including nine attacks on areas in western Al-Hudaydah province, the Houthi-run Saba News Agency reported.
Citing a security source, Saba News said 10 strikes targeted the Al-Hazm and Al-Ghayl districts in Al-Jawf province, while three strikes hit Al-Jubah district in Marib province.
The agency reported that 18 strikes were conducted against the districts of Mawza and Maqbanah, the Mocha Junction and other areas in Taiz province.
In Al-Hudaydah, nine strikes reportedly targeted the districts of Al-Salif and Al-Tuhayta as well as Kamaran Island.
Saba did not report any information on casualties or damage resulting from the reported strikes. There was no immediate comment from Saudi authorities on the claims.
Yemen has remained embroiled in conflict since the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014. A Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened in March 2015 in support of Yemen’s internationally recognised government.
