Yemen's Health Ministry said on Sunday that at least 76 people were killed or wounded in Saudi attacks across the country over the past 24 hours. According to the ministry, 17 Yemeni civilians were killed and 59 others wounded, most of them children, in the Saudi airstrikes. The figures were reported by Al-Mayadeen, citing the health ministry.

On Saturday night, Yemeni armed forces spokesman Yahya Saree said Saudi warplanes carried out 109 airstrikes on Yemen over the past 24 hours. Saree provided the tally of strikes but did not give further details on the locations or targets.

The reported strikes are part of the ongoing Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, which has been ongoing for years. The conflict has caused widespread casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. The health ministry's figures could not be independently verified.
