Saudi jets pounded various districts of Sana’a, using cluster bombs early on Thursday. A civilian was killed and a number of others were injured during the raids. Witnesses said some of the bombs were left unexploded. Saudi warplanes also bombarded residential buildings in the al-Marzaq district of Hajjah Province, killing four people and injuring two others. Rights groups had earlier exposed Saudi Arabia’s use of cluster bombs in the war on Yemen. The Human Rights Watch said in late May 2015, Saudi warplanes had targeted civilians and residential areas with cluster bombs in the northern province of Sa’ada. More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since the strikes began. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure.
