According to Yemen\u2019s al-Masirah television network, the Saudi-led airstrikes hit residential buildings in the Ghamar district of the mountainous province of Sa\u2019ada early on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The development came just a day after Yemeni air defense forces, backed by fighters from allied Popular Committees, reportedly intercepted and shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter as it was flying in the skies over Sa\u2019ada Province.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate former president, AbdRabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.<\/p>\n
At least 13,600 people have been killed since the onset of the campaign.\u00a0 Much of the Arabian Peninsula country’s infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war.<\/p>\n
The Saudi-led war has also triggered a deadly cholera epidemic across Yemen.<\/p>\n
