More than 20 civilians died during an air-raid coordinated by a Saudi coalition in the Hodeidah neighborhood in Yemen. According to Le Figaro, the area was controlled by the Houthi Shiite rebels.

Apparently, the airstrike targeted the Souq Gounod neighborhood, a couple of hours after the Houthi community celebrated the second year of supremacy in the capital of Sanaa.

According to official sources, the neighborhood was attacked ‘by mistake’, admitted an official of the Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi Government without revealing his identity.

While the Saudi coalition was attacking Souq Hounod, another Arab air raid destroyed a presidential residence in Hodeida.

The rebel-controlled news agency Saba, reported a series of air strikes in Hodeida, writing that numerous civilians were killed or wounded. They failed to give a more specific report.

The director of one the local hospitals where the victims were transported announced 12 deaths and 30 are critically injured.

Right after they interfered on the Yemen territory in March 2015, the Saudi coalition has been accused numerous times by the humanitarian organizations of making the wrong choices.

The Arab coalition intervened in Yemen to support President Hadi, while the Houthi community is collaborating with Iran.

The Houthis took over capital Saada on September 21, 2014, continuing to spread their supremacy in numerous regions of Yemen.

The battles are between several different groups, with the main fighting between forces loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, and those allied to the Houthis, who forced Mr. Hadi to flee the capital Sanaa in February 2015.

So far, the civil war from Yemen caused 6,600 deaths.
