At least three women were killed and many others injured in a Saudi-led coalition bombing on Yemen’s Hodeida province, a security official told Yemen Press Agency on Thursday.
The official added that the coalition’s warships launched intensive bombings on homes in Durihamai district in the western coast, causing human and material casualties.
The Saudi-led coalition warplanes also waged an air strike on the main road between Zabid and Husseinieh districts.
Meanwhile, the coalition-backed militants attacked homes in the northeast of Hays district with a number of artillery shells, causing huge destruction.
Saudi Arabia and its allies launched the deadly military aggression against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the country's former Riyadh-allied regime and crush the Houthis, who have been running state affairs in the absence of an effective government.
The war is estimated to have left 56,000 Yemenis dead.
Back in June, the Saudi-led coalition launched an offensive on the port city of Hodeida despite international warnings that it would compound the war-torn nation’s humanitarian crisis.
The Saudi-led offensive, coupled with a naval blockade, has destroyed Yemen's infrastructure and led to famine in the import-dependent state.
About 8.4 million Yemenis are now facing starvation. The number is likely to increase to 14 million.
