Saudi aircraft carry out 40 airstrikes in Yemen: Report

The agency, citing a security source, said Saudi aircraft carried out 10 strikes on the Al-Hazm and Al-Ghayl districts in Al-Jawf province and three strikes on the Al-Jubah district in Marib province.

It added that 18 strikes targeted the districts of Mawza, Maqbanah, the Mocha Junction and other areas in Taiz province.

In Al-Hudaydah, the agency said Saudi aircraft carried out nine strikes targeting the districts of Al-Salif and Al-Tuhayta and Kamaran Island.

The report did not provide details on possible casualties or damage caused by the strikes.

There was no immediate comment from the Saudi side on the report.

Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014, prompting a Saudi-led Arab coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
