Further details have emerged following yesterday’s air strikes carried out by the Saudi-led coalition over the Yemeni capital Sanaa. It has been revealed that warplanes targeted a stable at the Military College.

The attacks killed 70 purebred Arabian horses, injuring 30 others. A correspondent for Al-Masirah also reported that a horse breeder was killed and two others were injured.

At least 19 raids were carried out across several areas of the capital, which is under the control of the Houthi-aligned National Salvation Government.

 The Saudi air strikes appear to be in response to the retaliatory ballistic missile strikes by the Yemeni military, which is allied to the Houthi movement, which was described as the “largest military operation” of its kind against the Saudis.

Some observers believe the severity of the strikes on the Yemeni capital is evident that the missile strikes over Riyadh and southern regions were more serious than Saudi sources have claimed, alleging that they were all intercepted by their air defence systems.
