Saudi authorities on Saturday announced that a 5-day ceasefire will start from Monday in Yemen, while the Riyadh-led airstrikes and ground assaults are still underway against the Arab neighbor.

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly declared ceasefire in its aggression against Yemen, but it has never respected truce and always kept its airstrikes underway.

Just hours before the latest truce in Yemen announced during the last week of holy month of Ramdan, the Saudi-led coalition targeted the residential areas across Yemen, killing scores of civilians.

The United Nations declared a five-day emergency truce on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr (marking the end of Ramadan month) last week, but the Saudis kept bombing their impoverished neighbor even on the Eid day.

The United Nations has lately declared its highest-level humanitarian emergency in Yemen as Saudi Arabia continues its deadly airstrikes against the impoverished Arabian Peninsula country.

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen since March 26 to bring fugitive president Abed-Rabbu Mansour Hadi back to power.

The airstrikes have so far claimed the lives of more than 5,302 civilians, mostly women and children.
