Nine Yemeni civilians killed in air strike
 

SANAA: At least nine civilians, including four children, were killed on Thursday in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on a residential building **rth of the Yemeni capital Sanaa, residents said.

At least five other people were injured in the attack early on Thursday on the three-storey apartment building in the Amran provincial capital, Amran city, **rth of Sanaa, they said.

A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition said he was checking the report.

The coalition, which has been fighting to roll back gains made by the Iran-allied Houthi group since 2014 and restore ousted President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power, says it does **t target civilians.

The attack was the latest raid to have struck civilian targets since August. Previous ones include a strike on a hospital run by Doctors without Borders, prompting the international medical charity to withdraw staff from **rthern Yemen.

Residents said the building was struck three times while an adjacent but empty school was hit twice.
