At least three people, including a woman, have been killed in two separate Saudi aerial attacks against residential neighborhoods in Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada.

Saudi warplanes targeted a house in Baqim district south of Sana’a on Saturday, leaving a couple dead, Arabic-language al-Masirah television reported.

One more civilian was killed and four others injured when Saudi jets struck a civilian car in Wadi al-Jabal district.

In another airstrike, Saudi warplanes hit a civilian vehicle in Wadi al-Dhabian, wounding three people.

The casualties came after Yemen's army snipers fatally shot two Saudi soldiers in al-Rabu’ah town of kingdom’s southwestern border region of Asir.

A Saudi military vehicle also went up in flames after Yemeni soldiers and their allies targeted it with a guided missile at a camp in the same southwestern Saudi city.

Saudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015, with the UN putting the death toll from the military aggression at about 10,000. The offensive was launched in an attempt to reinstate Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a Saudi ally who has resigned as Yemen’s president.
