Airstrike in northwest Yemen kills 7 children, 2 women: UN

An airstrike in northwest Yemen killed seven children and two women, the United Nations reported Monday. Houthi rebels accused their rivals, the Saudi-led coalition, of striking civilian targets across northwest Yemen late Sunday, killing women and children as young as 2 years old. The UN humanitarian office in Yemen said field reports appeared to confirm an attack that left nine dead and wounded another two children and two women in Hajjah province.
