Saudi fighter jets once again bombarded a hospital in Yemen, this time in the northwestern province of Hajjah, media reports said on Tuesday.

During the Saudi-led airstrike, a number of civilians were killed and may others injured, Lebanese Al Mayadeen TV network reported.

Saudi warplanes also mounted four attacks on an international airport in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a, the report further said.

A Saudi-led coalition, backed by the United States, has been carrying out deadly airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.

Saudi attacks have killed more than 2,600 people and injured at least 11,000 since the military aggression began against Yemen on March 26, according to United Nations [UN] records.

The Saudi-led aerial airstrikes have targeted over 60 hospitals and 13 ambulances.

The military aggression by Saudi Arabia began in an attempt to bring the fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia, back to power, and to weaken the Houthi Ansarullah movement which is currently responding to the Saudi attacks on the country.
