An alleged Saudi airstrike in Yemen killed at least nine people and wounded 16 on Sunday, October 18, according to Houthi media, as fighting between the two sides in the country’s revived civil war escalates further.

The Saba news agency, of the Iran-backed group, said a strike on a home in Saada governorate, in the country’s north, led to the martyrdom of nine people and wounded 16 others, most of them women and children.
