Ongoing Saudi Aggression on Saada: Five Civilians Injured and Direct Targeting of Travelers and Border Villages
The Saudi enemy continues to escalate its criminal attacks against civilians in Saada Governorate, in a blatant violation of Yemeni sovereignty and a flagrant challenge to all international and humanitarian laws and conventions. A new act of aggression has resulted in the injury of five civilians in the border districts of Shada and Munabbih, as part of a prolonged series of deliberate crimes against defenseless residents.
In the latest attack, a local source in Saada reported that a Saudi enemy drone targeted the border district of Shada earlier today, Monday, leaving four civilians with varying injuries. Sources confirmed that the strike targeted civilians and travelers, constituting a clear crime that reveals the enemy’s deliberate targeting of civilian objects with complete disregard for humanitarian consequences.
In a simultaneous assault, another civilian was injured by Saudi enemy gunfire opposite the Al-Raqo area in the border district of Munabbih, as a result of direct shooting from enemy positions. This comes within the framework of repeated attacks on populated areas along the border strip of Saada Governorate.
Media sources in the governorate reported that the four injured civilians were transferred to Razih Rural Hospital, where they arrived this evening after being wounded in a strike carried out by Saudi-American drones that targeted travelers in Shada District. Medical sources confirmed that the injuries resulted from direct bombardment, reflecting the severity of the attack and the blatant disregard for civilian lives.
In a further escalation of criminal conduct, Saudi reconnaissance aircraft continued intensive overflights above the districts of Shada and Razih during the evacuation of the wounded, in an apparent attempt to terrorize civilians and obstruct humanitarian efforts. This coincided with artillery shelling following the drone strike, underscoring the enemy’s deliberate intent to compound humanitarian suffering.
The border districts of Saada periodically witness ongoing attacks involving sniper fire, shelling, and drone strikes, demonstrating the Saudi enemy’s persistence in targeting unarmed civilians, their property, and their sources of livelihood, amid a deafening international silence that exposes the extent of complicity and the inability to halt these ongoing crimes.
This aggression comes within the broader context of the Saudi-American war on Yemen, which has repeatedly targeted civilians, travelers, and civilian infrastructure, as part of a systematic policy reflecting the enemy’s military and moral failure and its attempt to compensate for its setbacks by exacting revenge on innocent people in peaceful border villages.
