Seven children from the same family as well as three other people were killed in two Saudi airstrikes on Hajja province, an official told the state-run news agency Saba on Sunday.

The strike hit a farm, killing the seven children. The other airstrike hit Bani Hassan area of Absa district, killing the three civilians, the official added.

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 seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. Local Yemeni sources have put the death toll from the Saudi war at over 12,000, including many women and children.
