Iran: Yemen aggressors trying to make up for battleground defeats by killing civilians
Tehran (KNA) - Iran has strongly condemned a deadly airstrike by the Saudi regime and its allies against a market in Yemen’s northwestern Sa’ada Province, saying the aggressors are attempting to make up for their defeats by massacring civilians.
Speaking on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi expressed sympathy with the families of the victims of Monday's "savage and inhumane" attack by the Saudi-led coalition on the market in Sa'ada, which killed at least 13 people, including children, and injured 23 others.
"More than four years into the destructive war, the military aggressors have achieved nothing other than Yemen's destruction and want to make up for their political and battleground defeats by killing women, children and civilians," he said.
Mousavi also criticized the international community for keeping mum the Saudi-led alliance's war crimes in Yemen, adding, "The US and some European countries, which are selling weapons to the aggressors, are complicit in such atrocities and should be held responsible for their acts."
