At least five people, including two children, were killed and five others were wounded on Thursday in airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition against a Yemeni Houthi checkpoint and a house in the northern part of Sana’a, witnesses told EFE.
The first airstrike targeted the checkpoint, located on the capital’s northern outskirts, and aircraft then bombed a three-story house near the checkpoint.
Epa photographers saw the rubble of the house in which, according to witnesses, a man, his wife and two daughters and another man were staying when it was struck.
Rescue services said that the father’s body is still under the rubble and that they need cranes to dig it out.
In addition, another woman and three children were wounded, along with the driver of a truck that was in the area at the time of the bombing.
The war in Yemen intensified in March 2015 following the intervention of the Arab coalition in support of former President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, putting more than 22 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the United Nations.
