As Reported by Qods News Agency (Qodsna) A ministry official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, told Saba news agency that the fresh Saudi killing was yet another flagrant violation of international law and human values.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

It also warned that the crime would be met with a “strong response and retaliation.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saudi warplanes targeted two houses in the Khadir district of Ta'izz on Friday, killing at least eight members of a family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The airstrike also left five Yemeni civilians wounded, reports said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The spokesman for Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement denounced the Ta'izz killing, stressing that it would only increase the Yemeni people's resolve to confront the Saudi aggression.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Killing and injuring a number of citizens is considered a continuation of the aggressive bloody approach in targeting civilian houses," Mohammed Abdul-Salam said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

He further expressed regret that the bodies of innocent Yemeni women and children do not lead international parties to stop lucrative arms sales to aggressor regimes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Yemenis rally in the northern city of Sa’ada to protest against the Saudi-led war on their country.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saudi Arabia and its allies have been waging a brutal war on Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the country's Riyadh-allied former regime and crush the Houthis -- objectives that have failed to materialize due to Yemenis’ stiff resistance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Western-backed military aggression, coupled with a naval blockade, has destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and led to a massive humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates<\/a> that the Saudi offensive has claimed the lives of over 60,000 Yemenis since January 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
