SAUDI ARABIA has been accused of war crimes after at least 11 people, mainly children, were killed in an air strike in a civilian area of Yemen’s north-western Hajjah province today.

The missile struck the home of Ahmed Mohammad Tamri in the early hours in a second attack in less than 24 hours.

Initial reports said that seven children aged between 18 months and 14 years were killed in the attack, although the death toll may rise, according to those on the ground. A woman believed to be the children’s mother also died as a result of the bombing.
