TEHRAN (Defapress)-“The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms the appalling massacre committed by the Saudi aggression on a hospital and a public market in Yemen, which left hundreds of martyrs and wounded from the innocent Yemeni citizens,” an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

According to the source, this heinous crime reflects the despair and frustration of the Saudi aggression over its continued failure, considering that the aggression amounts to the level of war crimes that warrant accountability.

Syria urges the international community to promptly act to put an end to the barbaric Saudi aggression which is backed by Western states, chiefly the US, UK and France which are supplying Saudi Arabia with the most fatal of weapons, the source said, expressing fraternal solidarity with the people of Yemen.

The source concluded by affirming Syria’s confidence in the inevitability of the Saudi aggression’s failure in the face of the Yemeni people’s insistence to defend their homeland.
