Yemen: officials say a strike kills 6 from 1 family

None

SANAA- Yemeni security officials and witnesses say a suspected Saudi-led airstrike has killed six civilians, including four children from one family in southern Yemen.

 

The officials said Wednesday that warplanes fired two missiles at a home in the town of el-Mahala, in the southern province of Lahj. The home was flattened and five people, also from the same family, were injured.

 

The officials said the home is adjacent to a building that is suspected of housing Islamic militants. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
