The Saudi fighter jets also launched four air raids on different areas in Jawf province including al-Batenah area in al-Matmah district and al-Saqeyah area in al-Masloub district.

The airstrikes damaged to private properties in the province.

Meanwhile, two children and a man were killed in an air raid in al-Matmah district of Jawf province.

The warplanes targeted the house of "Abdullah al-Sharif", killing al-Sharif himself and his two children.

The house was completely destroyed in the bombing.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
