Mosques put to ground in fresh Saudi airstrikes in Yemen

The Saudi-led coalition warplanes have flattened a mosque in Yemen’s west-central Ma’rib Governorate, and stricken another in the northwestern Sa’da Governorate.

The first attack aimed at the mosque in Ma’rib’s Sirwah District, Yemeni news website Sahafah24 reported on Sunday.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television network published footage released by the country’s War Media outlet displaying the moment the structure fell into ruin.

A day earlier, the aircraft struck a mosque and other religious centers in Sa’ada’s Razih District.

Two people sustained wounds in Saudi airstrikes in Sa’ada’s Sahar district. A woman was also injured in a Saudi attack that hit a road in the governorate’s Saqayn district.

The footage broadcast on al-Masirah also showed the aftermath of the attacks on Sa’ada.

The Saudi military campaign was launched in March 2015 with the aim of reinstalling Yemen’s former Riyadh-backed government and crushing the country’s Ansarullah movement, which has been both running state affairs and defending the nation against the aggression.

Thousands of Yemenis have so far lost their lives in the war, which also recruits many of Saudi Arabia’s regional allies, and enjoys logistical, political, and arms assistance from the United States and the United Kingdom
