| Yemeni civilians showered with Saudi bombs |
| 2009-12-08 |
| Saudi forces have reportedly launched several air raids on civilian areas in northern Yemen after Houthi fighters inflicted heavy losses on them overnight. The Monday aerial bombardments came a day after the Houthis repelled a Saudi invasion into Jabal al-Ramin. The fighters destroyed several Saudi army tanks during the Sunday night attack. One month after Riyadh launched its offensive against Shia fighters in Yemen, its jets, helicopters and artillery continue to pound civilian areas in the northern country. Saudi Arabia joined Sana'a's offensive against the Houthis, charging that the fighters had attacked one of its border checkpoints. Already involved in defending the Shia minority from Yemeni soldiers, the fighters deny the charge saying they could not possibly be interested in opening another front. The fighters have also accused Saudis of using unconventional weapons including toxic materials and phosphorus bombs against civilians. They also released new footage of Saudi firearms and ammunition they seized during the clashes along the border last week. |
