A Yemeni civilian was martyred on Monday after sustaining injuries due to aggression by the Saudi-led coalition in Al-Thabet, Qatabir District of Saada, Sanaa government sources reported on Monday.

A source in the Sanaa government reported that the Saudi-led coalition committed 74 violations during the past 24 hours on the battlefronts on the western coast, including combat fortifications in Hays, Al-Hudaydah.

The source also indicated that among the violations was an attack carried out by two UAVs, as well as intense overflights and artillery shelling with numerous calibers. "Saudi artillery targeted several areas in the border district of Shada in Saada."

An official source in the Sanaa government on Saturday reported the martyrdom of a Yemeni civilian by Saudi coalition artillery fire on the border district of Shada in Saada.

Earlier, official Yemeni sources reported that three civilians were injured by Saudi artillery shelling on the border district of Shada in Saada, northern Yemen.

A couple of days ago, Al Mayadeen correspondent in Saada reported the martyrdom of a Yemeni citizen who had been injured by Saudi artillery shelling on the border district of Shada.

One Yemeni was martyred last week while four others were injured in an artillery shelling by the Saudi coalition in the same region.

The border areas of Saada governorate are subjected to continuous attacks with missile and artillery shelling and direct targeting of civilians, which has resulted in deaths and injuries on an escalating basis since the beginning of the year.

The Eye of Humanity Center for Rights and Development highlighted in a recent report that the total number of martyrs and wounded over the past eight years amounted to 48,349, including 18,140 martyrs and 30,254 wounded.

Sanaa announced in October 2022 that negotiations to extend the UN armistice in Yemen had reached a dead end after Saudi Arabia refused to pay the salaries of public servants from the revenues of oil and gas produced from the Yemeni governorates.
