SANAA, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- A woman was killed in a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on Yemen's northern province of Saada on Thursday, a local medic and residents said.
"The woman, Fatima, died from injuries she sustained in the airstrike on her home in Shaban village of Razih district," the medic told Xinhua by phone.
She was rushed to the hospital by her relatives and neighbors. The woman was heavily bleeding as shrapnel had already ripped many parts of her malnourished body, a doctor said.
The airstrike also wounded four other villagers.
On Monday, a mother and her five children were killed in an airstrike on their home in neighboring Hajjah province, which borders Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab military coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015 to support the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after the Houthi rebels forced him into exile and seized much of the country's north, including the capital Sanaa.
The four-year-long war has killed more than 10,000 people, mostly civilians, displaced 3 million others and pushed the country to the brink of starvation.
The UN Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths visited Sanaa last week, when the rebels pledged to attend the upcoming peace talks in Sweden.
