Saudi coalition intensifies attacks against civilians

Two Yemeni civilians, on the other hand, were martyred when Saudi coalition warplanes attacked a poultry farm in the Al-Jarrahi district, south of Al-Hudaydah.

Meanwhile, a Yemeni military source reported 72 violations by Saudi coalition forces on Al-Hudaydah fronts, divulging the creation of new combat fortifications in Hays and Al-Jabaliya.

The Yemeni source added that Saudi spy planes flew over these areas among other violations, most notably 14 breaches by artillery shelling with 65 shells and 39 various breaches.

Cutting water off Yemenis

On Wednesday, the Yemeni Ministry of Water and Environment in Sanaa said that "135,000 people who benefit from the Tlummus reservoirs were directly affected by the cessation of water pumping," noting that "citizens were forced to buy water at high prices, due to the lack of oil derivatives."

The Yemeni Ministry of Water and Environment in Sanaa has also condemned the attack of the Saudi-led coalition warplanes that targeted the Tlummus field tanks in the city of Saada, which supplies the Governorate with potable water.

The ministry indicated that "the warplanes of the coalition of aggression targeted two water tanks, with a capacity of 280 and 300 units respectively," resulting in their destruction, thus affecting the nearby water network. Moreover, "five nearby water wells were also affected directly, which led to cutting water off the residents of Saada.”
