Saudi attacks kill child in Yemen’s north

At least one child has been killed and another wounded in attacks by Saudi-led forces in Yemen’s northern province of Sa’ada.

According to Yemen’s al-Masirah television, Saudi-led forces poured rockets and artillery shells on a rural area in the Razih district of the province in the early hours of Thursday, killing the child and wounding the other.

There was no report yet about the extent of damage caused by the attacks.

The Western-backed war, coupled with a blockade of the country, has led to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen, with many children suffering from cholera and severe malnutrition.
