A Yemeni civilian and his daughter were killed on Wednesday in two Saudi air raids on Bani Matar district of Sana'a province.
A local official told the state-run news agency Saba that the Saudi aggression warplanes targeted the house of Mohamed al-Hakami in Sanna' area, killing al-Hakami and his daughter.
The official added that the wife was also injured.
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.
During the first year of this aggression, Britain licensed over £3 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
The war has drawn huge international condemnation, with the Saudi coalition's actions having further devastated the Middle East's poorest nation.
More than half of Yemen’s 22 million population are currently living at emergency levels of food insecurity and need urgent relief – especially in remote rural areas that are often overlooked by humanitarian schemes.
About 11,403 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
