Five civilians, including a child, were killed in a Saudi airstrike on Marib.
Five civilians, including a child, were killed in an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition in Bayhan District, southeast Marib Governorate, northeast Yemen.
The official SABA news agency in Sanaa stated that "the Saudi aggression's warplanes targeted a car of a Yemeni citizen on the main road in the Harib District of Marib, which led to his death along with his two sons, in addition to two others who were in the car."
In another massacre committed by the Saudi-led coalition warplanes in the middle of the night in the Al-Libi residential neighborhood in Sanaa, the number of martyrs reached 23.
Al Mayadeen's reporter indicated that an entire family was martyred after an attack on the house of a retired pilot brigadier general in the area.
Our correspondent pointed out that the Saudi coalition raids prevented ambulance and emergency teams from reaching the neighborhood, which is indicative of the rise in casualties, given that people are trapped and struggling under the rubble.
This massacre comes after the Saudi coalition announced mass airstrikes on Sanaa, carrying out several raids throughout the night "in response to the threat and military necessity."
Yemen Hurricane
In a statement on Monday evening, the Spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier-General Yahya Saree, explained the context in which the armed forces' operation hit the depth of the Emirates.
"We carried out a qualitative military operation, Yemen Hurricane, in response to the escalation of aggression against the country," Saree said in a statement.
The Yemeni Spokesperson's words came after Abu Dhabi police announced the death of a Pakistani citizen, two others of Indian nationality, and the injury of 6 others, as a result of the explosion and fires in the capital today, Monday.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced earlier today that they had carried out a "qualitative operation in the depth of the Emirates", after 2019, when the armed forces had previously threatened to target the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai and dozens of other targets in the Emirates.
In this context, the Yemeni Joint Meeting Parties vowed that "this operation will not be the last if the aggression continues." The parties continued to explain that the price that the UAE is paying "confirms that any country that targets Yemen, violates its sovereignty and independence, and occupies its islands will not be safe from targeting."
The Joint Meeting Parties warned that "the leaders of the UAE must re-calculate and get their hands off Yemen, otherwise the missiles force and the air force that are in charge of them will be on the lookout for them," stressing that "this operation will not be the last if the Emirati aggression continues its activities that serve the Americans and the Israelis in the first place."
