The Saudi-led coalition claims its recent bloody airstrike on a market in Yemen’s northern province of Sa\u2019ada that killed at least 26 people was carried out on a \u201clegitimate\u201d military target.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tAfter reviewing the Wednesday attack on a hotel and an adjoining market in Sahar district, the coalition issued a statement on Saturday, claiming the target was the gathering point for some Houthi fighters.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tSaudi-led airstrikes continue to claim more civilian lives across Yemen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThree Yemenis were killed and one was injured during two Saudi airstrikes on al-Mukha district in the southwestern province of Ta\u2019izz on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn another airstrike on a residential area in al-Dhahir district in the northwestern province of Sa\u2019ada, one woman was killed and another was wounded.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe Saudi warplanes also launched several airstrikes on Hayfan district in Ta\u2019izz province and on Qabbaytah district in the southwestern province of Lahij.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tYemeni ballistic attack on airport near Riyadh<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn a separate development on Saturday, Yemeni sources said the country\u2019s army had hit King Khalid International Airport near Riyadh with a ballistic missile.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tReports said Saudi firefighters rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire at the airport.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSaudi sources said the army had intercepted the Yemeni ballistic missile. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMeanwhile, the Yemeni army and popular forces targeted military positions inside Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAccording to Yemen’s al-Masirah television network, Yemeni snipers killed two Saudi soldiers in separate Saudi bases in the southwestern regions of Jizan and Najran.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe Yemeni forces also launched mortar attacks against three other Saudi bases in Jizan.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMeanwhile, Yemeni forces killed and injured several Saudi-led mercenaries in Ma\u2019rib and Ta\u2019izz provinces.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSaudi Arabia and a coalition of its allies have been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015, in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tLocal Yemeni sources have put the death toll from Saudi airstrikes at over 14,000 people.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tLast month, the United Nations blacklisted the coalition for infanticide during its war on Yemen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe annual blacklist, released by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on October 5, said the actions of the Riyadh-led alliance in Yemen \u201cobjectively led to that party being listed for the killing and maiming of children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
