Yemeni Drones Hit Saudi Communication Systems

AVA- "Drones belonging to the Yemen army and popular committees, in an important operation, attacked communications systems of the invading and occupying forces in the Western coast of Hudaydah," Al-Masirah television network reported.
"The attack came after careful observation of the enemy's movements," it said, stating that the operation was set to "deepen crisis among the invading forces and undermine and confound their options" in the offensive. 
The report also added that a number of mercenaries fighting for Saudi Arabia were killed in an air raid after they attempted to flee the battlefield in Hudaydah. 
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 16,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia's deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fueled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods.

The United Nations aid chief has recently expressed concern over the decline of food imports to Yemen amid restrictions put in place by the Saudi Arabia, warning that a further 10 million Yemenis could face starvation by year-end.

"I am particularly concerned about the recent decline of commercial food imports through the Red Sea ports," Mark Lowcock, the UN emergency relief coordinator, said in a statement.

Lowcock stated that commercial food and fuel imports remained "well short of pre-blockade averages".

"If conditions do not improve, a further 10 million people will fall into this category by the end of the year," he warned.

Humanitarian agencies warned that halting operations at the crucial Hudaydah port would have an enormous impact on people all across Yemen, urging the warring parties to spare innocent lives in their battle for the Red Sea city.

A high-ranking UN aid official recently warned against the “catastrophic” living conditions in Yemen, stating that there was a growing risk of famine and cholera there.

“People's lives have continued unraveling. Conflict has escalated since November driving an estimated 100,000 people from their homes,” John Ging, UN director of aid operations, told the UN Security Council in late February.

Several Western countries, in particular the United States and Britain, have been supplying the Saudis with advanced weapons and military equipment during the invasion.
