Airstrikes in Yemen’s northern al-Jawf province killed least seven civilians on Wednesday, according to residents and an official with the Houthi rebel group who put the death toll at nine.
A Houthi health ministry spokesman said the Saudi-led coalition struck a residential area in the al-Hazm district of al-Jawf province just days after a Sunday airstrike in the northwestern governorate of Hajjah.
Sunday’s Hajjah strike killed seven children and two women, and injured an additional two children and women, said the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
The Houthi movement blamed the Saudi-led coalition for both incidents.
