DUBAI: Three women and six children from the same family were killed in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on their home in northern Yemen today, a local health official said, the latest in a series of attacks since 2015.
Yemen has been torn by a civil war in which the exiled government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, is trying to roll back gains made by the Iran-aligned Houthi group which controls most of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa.
The head of the local health department, Dr Abdel-Ilah al-Azzi, said the attack at dawn on the family home of Taha al-Dharafi in Mahda district on the south-western outskirts of Saada city, also injured three other people.
“We are recording all the crimes of the enemy and we will not forget them,” Azzi said.
“All the criminals will be put on trial soon, God willing,” he added. (Agencies)
