Al-Waziyah:Sana'a: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Yemen has issued an appeal to the international community, emphasizing Yemen's adherence to international law and its right to defend its citizens, in response to the targeting of Al-Waziyah market.
According to Yemen News Agency, the ministry sent letters to several international bodies, including the UN Secretary-General, the President of the UN General Assembly, and the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, among others. These letters addressed the continued attacks by the Saudi regime on civilians and infrastructure in Yemen, highlighting three recent airstrikes on the Al-Hadara market in Al-Waziyah district, which resulted in 30 deaths and eight injuries.
