UN slams 'disregard' for civilians after Yemen strike...

A top UN official in Yemen has said reported Saudi-led air strikes, in which at least 12 civilians including children were killed, were an example of the "disregard" for civilians' safety shown by all sides in Yemen's civil war.

At least 10 others were also wounded in Saada province after attacks on Friday on a house and a private vehicle, the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Jamie McGoldrick said, citing reports from fellow aid groups.

Three women and six children from the same family were killed in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on their home in the area, a local health official told the Reuters news agency.

A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition did not respond to a request for a comment. Full story...
