At least 20 killed, injured in Saudi airstrikes on residential area in Yemen’s Hajjah province. This was reported by Press TV.
At least 30 Yemenis, including women and children, have been killed in a series of Saudi-led air strikes in north Yemen, activists and local media said, as reported Al Jazeera.
Hussain al-Bukhaiti, a pro-Houthi activist, told Al Jazeera at least 16 air strikes targeted the village of Hiran in Hajjah province on Tuesday, killing 30 people, including a family of 10.
Quoting local residents, Bukhaiti said the raids started shortly after midnight, targeting the home of Sheikh Hamdi, a Houthi loyalist, killing him and his family.
The strikes reportedly continued until 5pm local time (14:00 GMT). According to Bukhaiti, the devastation prevented relatives and rescue workers from retrieving the bodies of the dead.
Al Masirah, a TV channel run by the Houthis – a group of rebels who control Hajjah province, the capital Sanaa, as well as other parts of central Yemen – said 10 paramedics were also killed.
