Civilians Killed Near Sana as Rescue Teams Come Under Fire

A devastating air assault near Sana’s western outskirts claimed the lives of eleven residents on Saturday, according to local sources. The target was Ash Sharayah village in Bani Hushaysh district, where five family homes were completely flattened by strikes attributed to Saudi combat jets.

District health officials reported that rescue teams have recovered eleven bodies so far, but cautioned that the number may increase as further searches continue. They also disclosed that two more airstrikes were carried out while emergency crews were working, hitting both the personnel and the road leading to the village.

No immediate response has been issued by the Saudi‑led coalition, and independent verification of the attacks remains lacking. The incident follows a market bombing in Taiz province that killed at least thirty people a day earlier, an event that saw both the Houthi rebels and government authorities exchange accusations.

The conflict in Yemen has entered a new phase of intensity, with frequent drone interceptions, missile launches, and retaliatory air raids. The coalition recently announced the downing of three drones aimed at Saudi territory, while the Houthis claim to have struck a Saudi airbase and an airport using drones and ballistic missiles.

The mounting civilian toll highlights the worsening humanitarian plight in Yemen, where relentless air operations and ground fighting continue to imperil everyday life for ordinary citizens.
