Saudi Arabia’s warplanes have killed a Yemeni judge and six members of his family in the Yemeni capital Sana’a while bombarding various regions across the impoverished country.
Saudi fighter jets attacked the judge’s house in Hay al-Nahzah district on Sunday, Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah news website reported, adding that several others sustained injuries.
The warplanes carried out at least seven airstrikes on the central province of Ma’rib, two strikes on the southwestern province of Ta’izz and five strikes on the northwestern Hajjah province.
Saudi Arabia began its military aggression against Yemen on March 26, 2015. The strikes are supposedly meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and restore power to the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
Some 8,300 people have been killed and over 16,000 others injured since the strikes began. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s infrastructure.
Yemenis have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.

Sun Jan 24, 2016 7:21PM
Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah fighters and allied army units have killed at least eight Saudi soldiers in retaliation for the Arab kingdom's deadly aggression against their country.
According to Yemeni media reports, at least three soldiers were killed by sniper fire near Yemen's Midi region on the border with Saudi Arabia’s Jizan Province on Sunday.
Five other Saudi forces were killed at the hands of Yemeni forces in a similar fashion in Jizan's al-Tawal region.
Fighters from the popular committees, backed by Ansarullah fighters, alongside Yemeni army soldiers are carrying out attacks against Saudi military positions in retaliation for Riyadh's deadly aggression against their country.
Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression in Yemen in March 2015 to undermine the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh and fled to the kingdom in the face of Houthi's increasing advances.
More than 8,278 people have been killed and over 16,000 others injured since the attacks began. The war has also devastated the country’s facilities and infrastructure.
Saudi military goes on with new airstrikes on Yemen
Sun Jan 24, 2016 10:48AM
The regime in Riyadh has conducted new airstrikes on Yemen, nearly ten months into Saudi Arabia’s deadly campaign against its impoverished southern neighbor.
On Sunday, Saudi warplanes bombarded residential areas in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, more than twenty times.
The warplanes also targeted the Yemeni army’s headquarters in the Huth district of Amran Province. The Majzar district of Ma’rib Province came under four Saudi strikes.
Yemen’s al-Masirah news channel reported that the Sahar district of the northwestern province of Sa’ada was pounded by Saudi jets.
Local Yemeni sources also said Saudi warships launched rocket attacks on the Mukha district of the province of Ta’izz.
In a separate development, Yemeni soldiers backed by the Houthi Ansarullah fighters, launched a retaliatory missile attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern province of Najran. Yemenis also destroyed a bulldozer belonging to Saudi mercenaries in the Jebel Hilan of Ma’rib.
Also on Sunday, unknown gunmen shot dead a Yemeni police colonel along with his wife in the province of Aden.

Four more Saudi soldiers killed in Yemen reprisal attacks
Sat Jan 23, 2016 2:12PM
Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah fighters and military units have carried out new retaliatory attacks against Saudi positions where four more Saudi soldiers were killed.
Yemen’s official news agency Saba said on Saturday that three Saudi soldiers were targeted by snipers in Borj ul-Dud military camp in the al-Tawwal district of Saudi Arabia’s southern province of Jizan.
The report said one more Saudi officer was killed while on duty in al-Ramadhah camp in the same region.
Houthis say the attacks on the Saudi military positions are in reprisal for Riyadh’s airstrikes on Yemen.
The deadly Saudi campaign against Yemen has killed nearly 8,300 people since March 26, 2015.
Dozens of Saudi soldiers and high-ranking officers have been killed in the retaliatory attacks over the past months. Yemeni forces have also clashed with troops from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, as well as mercenaries Riyadh has recruited.
Saba said Yemeni forces also launched rocket attacks on Saturday on military positions south of Saudi Arabia, including on a number of bases in the provinces of Najran and Jizan.
Yemenis also fired Zelzal missiles on other posts, with no immediate reports available on the potential casualties among the Saudis, the report said.
The Saudi airstrikes have been meant to undermine Ansarullah and bring Yemen’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power.
The Saudi campaign has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories across the impoverished country.
Saudi warplanes carried out a combat sortie against Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada on Saturday. Nearly a dozen civilians were injured. Saudi jets also hit a number of residential neighborhoods in the Dhahyan district of the same province.
11 civilians hurt as Saudi warplanes hit northwest Yemen
Sat Jan 23, 2016 11:20AM
Nearly a dozen civilians have sustained injuries when Saudi fighter jets carried out an airstrike in Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada.
Saudi military aircraft bombarded a pedestrian crossing in the al-Safra district of the province, located 240 kilometers (150 miles) north of the capital, Sana'a, on Saturday morning, leaving eleven people injured, Lebanon-based Arabic-language al-Ahed news website reported.
Saudi warplanes also launched four aerial attacks against a number of residential neighborhoods in the Dhahyan district of the same Yemeni province. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.
The development came only two days after at least 32 people, including 14 members of a family, lost their lives in two separate air raids against Dhahyan.
Additionally, Saudi jets targeted a government building and police headquarters in the central Yemeni city of al-Bayda, located about 210 kilometers (130 miles) southeast of Sana’a, on Saturday, though no reports of casualties were available.
Saudi warplanes also struck al-Mafraq district of Yemen’s northern province of al-Jawf, but there were no reports of casualties.
Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March last year. The Saudi military strikes were launched to supposedly undermine the Ansarullah movement and bring fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power.
At least 8,278 people, among them 2,236 children, have reportedly been killed and 16,015 others injured, since March. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
