Two men were killed and three women wounded when a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a displaced family in Yemen's northwestern province of Hajjah on Wednesday, a local council official told Xinhua.
It targeted a slum house, which the victim family has rented for more than two years after they escaped ground battles in the far northern district of Harad bordering Saudi Arabia, Abdullah Shuayb, a member of the tribal and local council in Mastaba district, told Xinhua by phone.
The airstrike took place in early morning in al-Sudy village in the northern edge of Mastaba district.
Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab military coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015 to support the resigned regime of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The four-year-long war has killed more than 10,000 people, mostly civilians, displaced 3 million others and pushed the country to the brink of famine.
The United Nations has brokered a cease-fire earlier this month between the Yemeni rival forces in the Red Sea port city of Hodeida, as the first confidence-rebuilding measure to end the war.
