Sanaa, July 15 (RHC)-- Saudi Arabia has escalated its deadly aerial attacks against the war-ravaged Yemeni nation by conducting over 200 air strikes in just one day amid a media blackout of Riyadh's aggression.

The latest aerial bombardments by the Saudi military were carried out throughout Tuesday with war planes first conducting more than 100 airstrikes against various locations in Hajjah and Sa'ada provinces. At least eight Yemeni civilians were killed when one aerial attack targeted a residential neighborhood in the Harad district of Hajjah.

The Saudi jets further pounded the southwestern province of Aden over 100 times and also hit the nation's capital city of Sanaa.

The massive airstrikes by the Saudi regime took place despite a UN-brokered ceasefire that went into effect at midnight last Friday. Saudi Arabia, however, has violated the truce a number of times since then.
