TEHRAN (IQNA) – Saud fighter jets bombed the Imam Hadi (AS) ancient mosque in Yemen’s Sa’ada governorate.

According to al-Mayadeen news network, the mosque was targeted in the early hours of Saturday.


Saudi warplanes also bombed the areas of Qamar and Saqayn in the northwestern province.


According to Yemen’s al-Masirah TV, four civilians were killed and over 10 others injured during the attacks.


Saudi rockets also struck the same areas.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to launch deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.


The Saudi-led coalition announced on April 21 that its military operation "Decisive Storm" has ended, but hours later, air strikes and ground fighting resumed.


According to the spokesman of the Yemeni Army, the Saudi-led war on the Arab country has killed more than 2,000 people, most of them civilians.
