On another day of the deadly campaign led by the regime in Riyadh against Yemen, Saudi warplanes have conducted airstrikes on the provinces of Hajjah and Sa’ada..

Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported that the warplanes targeted a residential building in Abs district of Hajjah on Wednesday.

The Saudi warplanes pounded the district of Razih in the northern province of Sa’ada. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties. Also in Sa’ada, Saudi Arabia conducted rocket and artillery attacks on Minbah district.

Many governments are continuing to fuel conflicts around the world by breaking the rules of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and supplying weapons to known human rights violators such as Saudi Arabia, Amnesty International said on Tuesday.

Amnesty said that the refusal of countries to suspend arms transfers to Saudi Arabia despite a growing number of possible war crimes carried out by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen “has become the emblematic case of irresponsible arms trading.”

The ATT regulates international trade in conventional arms from small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships and prohibits the transfer of such weapons if there is a known risk that they could contribute to serious human rights violations and/or war crimes.
