They attacked homes of innocent civilians, [which is] another crime of the Saudi and Emirati regimes, which overwhelms all humanitarian principles and laws," the ministry said in a statement, as quoted by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV channel.
The ministry urged humanitarian and human rights organizations to speak up about aggression against Yemen's civilians.
