Saudi aggression on Christmas Eve

A Yemeni woman and child were killed Friday as a result of a Saudi-led coalition strike that hit the residence of the Communications Corporation's guard in the Ajama Hashem Al-Houry area, medical sources reported to Al Mayadeen.

Eight members of the same family were also injured during the strike.

On the other hand, the coalition said that a Saudi citizen and a Yemeni resident were killed after a projectile was launched on Jazan.

The Saudi-led coalition carried an attack on Friday, claiming to have destroyed "two mountain caves used to store ballistic missiles and weapons in Saada."

On Thursday, the Saudi coalition raids targeted residential neighborhoods in Sanaa. Al Mayadeen's correspondent pointed out that Al-Sabeen Maternal Hospital and Al-Shaab Mosque were seriously damaged as a result of the coalition airstrikes.
