One civilian was martyred when US-backed Saudi-led coalition warplanes hit the entrance of a popular market in Hajjah province, a local official told the state-run news agency Saba.

Several other people were wounded in the air raid that targeted the Al-khamis market in Mastaba district.

Saudi Arabia has been engaged in a deadly campaign against Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the former Yemeni government.

The offensive has claimed 12,000 lives and left 19,343 others wounded, according to figures compiled by the Legal Center for Rights and Development, a Yemeni non-governmental monitoring group.
