Saudi airstrike kills 3 Yemeni children, critically injures parents

At least three children from a single family have been killed after Saudi fighter jets bombed a residential building in Yemen’s southern province of Abyan.

The air raid hit the building in the village of al-Shamil, located in Abyan’s district of Wuday’, early on Tuesday, Yemen’s al-Masirah television reported.

The children’s parents are said to have been critically injured in the assault.

A day earlier, Saudi warplanes repeatedly pounded the Kahlan military base in the province of Sa’ada. The Harad district in the northwestern province of Hajjah also came under similar attacks.

Meanwhile, Yemeni forces responded to the Saudi attacks, targeting the Ma’azab military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern region of Jizan with rockets and destroying several military vehicles there.
