At least 24 civilians were killed and injured, including 8 from a single family, mostly children and women, as a result of US Saudi airstrikes carried out by Saudi-led coalition targeting a residential neighborhood in Amran province. 

The Saudi-led coalition jets bombarded at two o’clock after midnight one of the residential neighborhoods in the city of Amran. According to local sources, the injured were immediately transferred to the city’s hospital.

The search is still ongoing until now for those who might still be buried under the rubble of the targeted houses.

Since midnight, the coalition waged a series of aerial raids on the province of Amran, where it targeted the security department of Amran building and a telecommunication building.

Moreover, it resumed its bombardment on the building of the security department based in Amran province at dawn.
