"The sick people fled the hospital in terror," an unnamed hospital official said. "They were afraid the building would collapse from the non-stop bombing of the army bases nearby."

Saudi warplanes also hit multiple positions in the provinces of Hajjah, Marib, and Saada.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia began its aggression against Yemen without a UN mandate in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country's fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
According to the United Nations, the conflict has so far left about 4,500 people dead and thousands of others wounded. Local Yemeni sources, however, say the fatality figure is much higher.
