Marib Dam before destruction by Saudi warplanes.
Saudi warplanes have carried out fresh airstrikes across the war-ravaged Yemen, inflicting damage and destruction on a dam and reservoir in the Arabian Peninsula country.
Saudi Arabia's fighter jets totally destroyed a reservoir in al-Nahdin district in the Yemeni capital Sana'a on Sunday evening, Yemen's Arabic-language Saba news agency reported.
According to the report, the reservoir, which
supplied water to at least 30,000 people in the densely populated area, could store up to 5,000 cubic meters of water and had cost Yemenis $4 million.
Since the beginning of the Saudi aggression on Yemen, the reservoir had been targeted by warplanes some 20 times and sustained partial damage but on Sunday it was completely destroyed.
The Saudi war machine
conducted three airstrikes on a dam in the Sirwah district in the central Ma'rib Province and caused heavy damage to its structure. They also carried out attacks on some areas in the western province of Hudaydah.
Saudi jets also
bombarded a hospital in the province and seriously wounded a physician and a nurse. The airstrike also inflicted damage to the building and some medical devices.
Yemen has been under airstrikes by Saudi Arabia since March 26 last year. The Saudi strikes have been meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power. Some 8,280 people, among them 2,236 children, have reportedly been killed and over 16,000 others injured. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country's infrastructure.
Comment: The empire of chaos isn't remotely concerned about the fate of vulnerable children. Global conquest is the prime motivator and in such a conscienceless regime, everyone is disposable. The U.S. and its allies have no qualms about targeting civilian infrastructure in its wars, which has resulted in the deaths of countless numbers of women and children.
