SANAA: Seven children were among 20 people killed in an air strike on northern Yemen, Huthi rebels and an aid organisation said Friday. The strike on Thursday targeted Al-Jawf province, northeast of Yemen's rebel-held capital of Sanaa, said a Huthi health ministry spokesman.
A local health official told Huthi-run Saba news agency that 20 people were killed and seven wounded, with women and children making up most of the casualties. The strike targeted a four-car civilian convoy in Al-Jawf, he said. Residents contacted by AFP confirmed women and children had died in the air strike which they said hit residential homes.
