The silent massacre continues. The raids of the Royal Saudi Air Force, spearhead of the Coalition led by Riad in the Yemeni war, intensified in September. In the last hours the air raids would have been concentrated in the west of the country along the coast on the Red Sea, heavily affecting the city of Hudaydah; there is talk of 25 dead and dozens injured in the Suq al-Hunod area. Terrible and unreliable images bouncing from some Arab media.

Given the difficulties on the ground of the Sunni army that entered Yemen to support President Hadi, the Saudi air forces have been unleashed in recent weeks, hitting military and civilian targets deemed of strategic importance.

The September 15 had been targeted at the international airport of the capital Sana'a, firmly in the hands of the militias for two years Houthi. The bombing would continue every day then also in the central districts of the country and in the mountainous areas of the north-west, a stronghold of the Shiite rebels.

The civilian deaths since the Saudi invasion have been more than 10.000.
