As Saudi Arabia continues its deadly aerial assaults on Yemen, a video has surfaced in media that purportedly shows an American aircraft providing aerial refueling for Saudi warplanes.
Yemen’s War Media released a footage on Saturday which showed a giant military plane refueling two Saudi jets and said in its description that the tanker was American.
The United States has been providing fueling services to the aircraft flown by a Saudi-led coalition which has been attacking Yemen since 2015, among other variations of combat logistics support.
The footage emerged hot on the heels of two attacks by the coalition, which killed scores of civilians, mostly children.
Thirty-one civilians, including 22 children and four women, lost their lives in a strike hitting a vehicle in the Durayhimi city in Yemen’s coastal al-Hudaydah Province on Thursday.
