One person was killed and two others injured on Saturday in US-backed Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Sabeen Square in the capital Sana'a during the funeral of the martyred president Saleh Al-Sammad.

Two airstrikes hit the vicinity of Sabeen Square, coinciding with the funeral ceremony, which led to the killing of one of the mourners and wounding two others, as well as causing damage to Al-Sha'ab Mosque.

The Saudi-led war began in March 2015 in support of a former Riyadh-friendly Yemeni regime.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the Saudi-led war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured until then.

The Saudi-led countries engaged in the war on Yemen have also blockaded the already-impoverished country.
The United Nations says a record 22.2 million people in Yemen are in need of food aid, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
