The Ministry of Communications condemns the aggression’s targeting of communications facilities in Amran ,Sanaa

Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology on Thursday condemned the airstrikes waged by the American Saudi-led coalition aircraft on civil telecommunications facilities in Amran and Sanaa provinces.

The aggression warplanes targeted the telecommunication, stations and towers in each of Bani Ghaith area in Bani Suraim and Tharwa Mountain in Thaibeen district in Amran province and in al-Howeri hill in Hamdan district in Sanaa province, the ministry said in a statement.

Those attacks led to the suspension of telecommunication and internet services in more than 15 districts in Amran, Sanaa and Jawf provinces and deprived hundreds of thousands of civilians from basic telecommunication services, bringing the number of Yemeni areas isolated from the world to 67 areas, according to the statement.

The frequent and direct targeting of the telecommunication infrastructure and facilities has caused severe destruction and damage to the national telecommunication network, the ministry added.

The Ministry held the aggression coalition countries fully responsible for negative repercussions resulting from the barbaric attacks against civilian telecommunications facilities, which harm the course of precautionary and preventive measures in dealing with the Corona virus.

In its statement, the Ministry expressed its deep regret at the involvement and complicity of the international community with the aggression coalition machine in killing civilians in Yemen and destroying civilian facilities and infrastructure of the national telecommunications network.
