Saudi Arabian warplanes strike al-Hudaydah and Sa’ada Provinces in western Yemen, killing three people, including a child.

The aircraft targeted two displaced families in al-Hali District in al-Hudaydah, which lies along the country’s west coast, killing a couple and seriously injuring their child, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported on Sunday.

Subsequent Saudi aerial bombing of the area prevented arrival of rescue workers to retrieve bodies from the rubble, the network’s correspondent reported.

In Sa’ada, a child was killed after Saudi jets released dozens of missiles against Haydan District.

Saudi Arabia and many of its allies started invading Yemen in March 2015 to restore power to its former Riyadh-friendly officials.
