Saudi Yemen airstrikes hit Saada province, damage infrastructure

Saudi Yemen airstrikes struck Saada province, damaging civilian infrastructure and fueling the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the war-torn nation.

Strikes on Saada Province

Saudi Arabia launched fresh air raids in northwestern Yemen, targeting Saada province. Reports on Sunday, September 7, confirmed that border areas came under heavy shelling. Local media outlet Al-Masirah noted that the attack destroyed civilian infrastructure and property. No casualties have been reported.

Escalation Tied to Gaza Conflict

Yemeni officials said Saudi forces have been carrying out attacks for years. However, the scale of recent strikes grew after Yemen condemned Israel’s war on Gaza. Analysts believe this rise in aggression reflects growing regional tensions that link both conflicts.

Saudi-Led War Since 2015

The Saudi-led coalition, supported by the United States and Western allies, began its campaign in March 2015. The mission aimed to dismantle the Ansarullah resistance, widely known as the Houthi movement, and restore the Riyadh-backed government of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.

Nearly a decade later, the coalition has not reached its goals. Instead, the war has killed hundreds of thousands, displaced millions, and created what the UN calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Humanitarian Consequences

Bombardments and blockades shattered Yemen’s infrastructure. Hospitals lack medicine, food supplies remain scarce, and clean water is limited. Aid agencies warn that millions face famine, with children at the greatest risk of disease and malnutrition.

Regional Implications

These latest airstrikes show how fragile the Middle East power balance remains. While global attention centers on Gaza, Yemen’s suffering risks being ignored despite its devastating scale.
