Nearly two dozen civilians have been killed and several others injured when Saudi military aircraft carried out separate airstrikes against residential areas in Yemen as the Riyadh regime presses ahead with its atrocious bombardment campaign against its southern neighbor.

Saudi fighter jets conducted a series of aerial assaults against an outdoor market in the al-Garrahi district of Yemen’s western coastal province of Hudaydah on Monday, leaving 20 people dead and eight others injured, an unnamed local source told Arabic-language al-Masirah television network.

Separately, three people lost their lives when Saudi warplanes launched an aerial attack against a highway in the Jabal Ra’s district of the same Yemeni province.

The development came just a day after Saudi jets targeted residential buildings in the Ash Shaghadirah district of the northwestern Yemeni province of Hajjah, killing eight civilians and wounding five others.

Saudi military aircraft also struck Midi district in the same Yemeni province. Four civilians were killed and ten others injured in the raids.

Another Yemeni civilian lost life when a Saudi jet hit his motorcycle as he was travelling along a road  in the city of Sirwah, which lies about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of the capital Sana’a.
