Local Editor

At least 30 Yemenis, including women and children, have been killed in a series of Saudi-led air strikes in northern Yemen.

According to a pro-Ansarullah activist, Hussain al-Bukhaiti, at least 16 air strikes targeted the village of Hiran in Hajjah province on Tuesday, killing 30 people, including a family of 10.

Quoting local residents, Bukhaiti said the raids started shortly after midnight, targeting the home of Sheikh Hamdi, a Ansarullah loyalist, killing him and his family.

The devastation prevented relatives and rescue workers from retrieving the bodies of the dead.

Al Masirah TV reported that 10 paramedics were also killed.

It published photos on Twitter and its website showing a bombed-out vehicle and dead children.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a destructive military campaign against Yemen since March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Houthi movement.

The campaign has devastated the country’s infrastructure, killing over 12,000 people including many women and children.
