Sanna: At least three people including a child were killed in Saudi-led airstrikes here in the city earlier on Thursday morning.

People were seen pulling out 14 wounded from the rubble of a building which was destroyed during the airstrikes in the al-Raqas neighborhood.

A doctor at the al-Manar city hospital under the condition of anonymity said bodies of the three deceased were brought to the hospital morgue.

Fawza Ahmed, a middle-aged broker, told media that he saw the three bodies of three members of a family- a man, his wife and daughter, being retrieved from rubble and buried together.

The airstrikes came two days after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who control the capital, claimed to have launched a drone attack on a critical oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, Tehran's biggest rival in the region.
