Sanaa, July 13 (RHC)-- Saudi Arabian jets have targeted a hospital in the city of Harad in Yemen's northwestern Hajjah province. The latest Saudi raid was carried out on medical workers' residential area situated on the grounds of a public hospital over the weekend.

More airstrikes were carried out in the northwestern province of Sa'ada and the port city of Aden. The Saudi military also launched mortar attacks on targets in Sa'ada.

Riyadh started air aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the country's fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of the Saudis.

According to the UN, over 3,000 Yemenis have been killed and over 14,000 more injured in over three months of conflict in the country. Local Yemeni sources, however, put the death toll at 4,500.
