The military spokesman, General Yehya Sarea, said that the Yemeni forces launched a rocketry and drone attacks on Riyadh as well as Asir, Jizan and Najran, adding that the offensive hit strategic and economic targets.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured in the strikes launched by the coalition, with the vast majority of them are civilians.<\/p>\n
