SANAA, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- A Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a house in Yemen's northwestern province of Hajjah on Wednesday, killing six family members, a provincial security official told Xinhua by phone.
The targeted house is located in Alsadah village near the Saudi border, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Rescuers rushed four other critically wounded family members to a hospital in the province's capital city that bears the same name, as there is no hospital near the village.
The victims were a father, his wife and their children, according to the official.
It is the latest airstrike targeting civilians in the war-torn Arab country.
Three days ago, a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a house in Washahah district in Hajjah, killing two women and a child.
In March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict to back internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi against Iranian-backed Houthis, who invaded the capital Sanaa militarily and seized most of the country's northern provinces.
More than 10,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the war with over 3 million displaced, according to UN agencies.
The country has also been hit by a deadly cholera epidemic and is on the edge of famine.
