Sanaa, August 1 (RHC)-- At least eight civilians have been killed and 20 others wounded in fresh Saudi airstrikes on Yemen. Yemen's al-Masirah TV network reported on Saturday that Saudi warplanes bombarded the province of Lahij in the southwest of the impoverished Arab country.

The airstrikes also targeted an administrative building in the Harad district of the northwestern Hajjah Province, but no reports of fatalities were immediately available.

Reports said Saudi warplanes launched aerial attacks on the positions of the Houthi Ansarullah fighters in the central province of Ma'rib. The strikes reportedly claimed the lives of over two dozen Ansarullah fighters.

The Saudi aircraft also pounded sites in the northern province of Sa'ada and a district located between the southern provinces of Bayda and Abyan.
