Sanaa Health Ministry: 6 Civilians killed, 4 wounded in Saudi airstrikes on Hajjah, Taiz

SANAA, Oct. 06 (YPA) – The Ministry of Health in Sanaa announced on Tuesday that six civilians were killed and four others wounded in Saudi airstrikes targeting the governorates of Hajjah and Taiz.

In an official statement, the ministry reported that six members of the same family—a mother, father, and four children aged between 3 and 8—were killed, and a six-year-old girl was critically injured, when a Saudi airstrike targeted the village of Umm Al-Dahi in the Haradh district of Hajjah governorate. The statement noted that several victims remain under the rubble.

In Taiz governorate, another airstrike struck the Salah district, injuring a child and two adults.

The Ministry of Health stated that targeting an entire family inside their home constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, calling it an addition to a series of war crimes committed by the Saudi regime against the Yemeni people.
