Shiite News: Yemen’s National Commission for Human Rights, holding a press conference at the site in the village of Al-Sharya in Bani Hashish district, east of the capital Sanaa, has stated that according to initial figures, 44 Yemeni civilians were martyred and 40 injured in the bombing by Saudi warplanes. The Commission held the Saudi regime fully responsible for this massacre.

According to the Commission, Saudi warplanes on Saturday afternoon directly and deliberately bombed civilians’ residential houses, as a result of which six residential houses were completely destroyed along with their occupants. After the initial attack, the same location was targeted three more times, in which ambulance crews and relief workers were also hit.
