News - Yemen: The Saudi forces have continued attacks along Yemen's northern borders this week, with local reports affirming new civilian casualties in Saadah province.

A correspondent for Almasirah TV reported on Friday that an African migrant was injured by gunfire from Saudi forces in the Qatabir border district. This incident follows reports from earlier in the week affirming that Saudi artillery and machine-gun fire targeted the Al-Raqu area on Wednesday, and that a Yemeni citizen and another African migrant were injured by Saudi fire on Tuesday.

The sources describe these as part of a pattern of near-daily violations involving artillery and direct fire targeting border areas. They frame these actions as a blatant violation of UN-sponsored peace understandings.

These persistent reports of violence underscore the fragility of the ceasefire landscape in Yemen and the ongoing humanitarian risks for populations living in contested border zones, complicating broader diplomatic efforts to end the long-running US-Saudi aggression against Yemen.

The northern Yemeni province of Saada, bordering Saudi Arabia, has been a persistent flashpoint throughout the US-Saudi aggression. Despite intermittent truces and ongoing UN-led peace efforts, shelling and airstrikes have continued often resulting in civilian casualties and accusations of violations from the Saudi side.
