Fresh Saudi airstrike leaves six civilians dead in northwestern Yemen

At least six civilians have been killed when Saudi military aircraft carried out an airstrike against a residential building in Yemen’s northwestern province of Hajjah as the Riyadh regime presses ahead with its atrocious bombardment campaign against its southern neighbor.

Local residents, requesting anonymity, said Saudi fighter jets conducted the aerial assault against a house in the al-Jar area of the Abs district. They added that the victims were all members of a family, and that four women and a baby girl were among the deceased.

Some 15,000 Yemenis have been killed and thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen in March 2015.
