"This aggression has nothing to do with any legitimacy. Civilians are being targeted, they declared war against people of Yemen," Ali Quhoum told Sputnik from the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
A Saudi-led military operation was launched two weeks ago to roll back Houthi insurgency in Yemen, after its president called for intervention. The ten-nation coalition has not sought a mandate from the UN Security Council for the military campaign.
Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Sergei Lavrov told Rossiya Segodnya news agency's general director, Dmitry Kiselev, that without a UN Security Council resolution the Saudi military foray into Yemen was illegal.
The conflict has killed more than 540 people and injured 1,700 since March 19, according to the UN's recent estimates.
