Earlier on Saturday, media outlets affiliated with the Houthis reported the deaths of 22 people in Saudi airstrikes in the Sanaa area, which is controlled by the pro-Iranian movement.
Following the Houthis’ nearly daily missile and drone attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in October, the fighting appears to have intensified in recent days on Yemeni soil.
“The death toll from the massacre carried out by the air force of its Saudi enemy (…) has risen to 22 people, including women and children, and the number of wounded to 30,” reported the Saba News Agency, a tally also cited by the Almasirah television channel.
