Saudis launch heavy airstrikes on border villages in Saada

Saada, Yemen ·

Border villages in Saada province, Yemen, came under heavy airstrikes and artillery fire on Wednesday, with the attacks attributed to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition in Yemen since 2015, backing the internationally recognised government against the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north. Saada, the Houthi heartland near the Saudi border, has been a focus of cross-border fighting.
