While Saudi-backed forces have been losing ground in the country’s
south, Saudi warplanes continue to actively pound targets across
northern Yemen, and as is so often the case, civilians were in the line
of fire.
On Sunday, Saudi warplanes attacked a house in the Hajjah Province of
northwestern Yemen, where internally displaced families were temporarily
staying. The victims were all civilians from within the house, with nine killed, including five children.
In addition to all the civilians killed, locals reported 18 other
civilians wounded in the airstrike, which included a number of neighbors
who lived in houses near the one that was targeted.
As is often the case in attacks killing civilians, the Saudi-led
coalition is entirely mum, providing no indication what they even
thought they might have been targeting, let alone their own assessment
of what happened.
