Sanaa, July 31 (RHC)-- Saudi Arabia has conducted fresh attacks on Yemen as international organizations voice concern about the humanitarian situation in the impoverished Arab country. According to local media outlets, Saudi warplanes bombarded the Yemeni military base of al-Anad in the southwestern province of Lahij early on Friday.

The Saudi jets also targeted an area in the central province of Ma'rib with five airstrikes and also bombarded the district of Lawdar in the southern province of Abyan.

There have been no reports on the possible casualties or damage as a result of the Saudi attacks.

In retaliation for the Saudi airstrikes, Yemen's Ansarullah fighters along with Yemeni army forces targeted an area in the southwestern Saudi province of Jizan with as many as 12 Katyusha rockets.

The developments come as the humanitarian situation in Yemen has become critical, with many international aid organizations seeking a safe passage into the country to send much-needed medical and humanitarian supplies to the country. More than four months of the Saudi airstrikes have caused severe shortages in basic necessities and nine million people remain in dire need of immediate assistance across Yemen.
