The Saudi war jets bombed a house, killing at least four people of one family in Saada province in Yemen on Friday.
The Saudi warplanes attacked a house in Jabal al-Azd area of Razeh district, a local source said.
The father and three of his sons were killed in the bombing, he added.
Saudi Arabia’s warplanes keep pounding several regions across Yemen despite a self-declared "ceasefire" in its deadly military campaign against the war-torn impoverished country.
The temporary five-day Saudi-proposed "ceasefire" came into effect on Sunday, but Riyadh has conducted numerous airstrikes in violation of the truce.
Saudi Arabia is continuing its aerial attacks on Yemen as international organizations voice concern about the worsening humanitarian situation in the country.
Human Rights Watch [HRW] censured recently on Tuesday the Saudi regime for committing an "apparent war crime." The New York-based rights group said that the "failure of Saudi Arabia ... to investigate apparently unlawful air strikes in Yemen demonstrates the need for the United Nations [UN] Human Rights Council to create a commission of inquiry."
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.
Based on UN figures, over 3,261 people have been killed, 1,670 of whom were civilians in the Saudi onslaught.
