Saudi Raids Reduced Yemeni Infrastructure to Rubble

Local Editor

A human rights group in Yemen said the country's infrastructure has been severely damaged in Saudi Arabia's atrocious war on the conflict-stricken Arab country.

Yemen's Human Rights Center, in a report released on Sunday, announced that more than 800 schools, 240 medical centers and hundreds of fuel depots and power plants have been targeted ever since Saudi Arabia launched its military strikes late March last year to bring fugitive former Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi back to power.

The rights group added that Saudi military assaults also destroyed airports, docks, harbors, bridges and hundreds of roads across Yemen.

Furthermore, the report indicated that many tourism centers, historical sites, mosques, food warehouses, water reserve tanks, communications towers and stadiums have also been struck in Saudi attacks.

In a separate development, tens of Saudi-sponsored mercenaries have been killed in a missile attack by Yemeni forces backed by Popular Committees against the Sahn al-Jin military base in the central Yemeni province of Ma'rib.

Tens of Saudi-backed militiamen were also killed or wounded during clashes in the western part of the same province.

Relatively, Amnesty International called Monday for an arms embargo on all warring parties in Yemen, including Saudi Arabia and its regional allies.

The rights watchdog said it documented grave violations of humanitarian and human rights law, including possible war crimes, during the nearly a year of war in Yemen.
