Airstrike on remote Yemen hospital kills at least seven

Attack in rebel-controlled Saada province coincides with fourth anniversary of Saudi intervention in civil war

At least seven people, including four children, have died after an airstrike hit the entrance to a hospital in a remote rebel-controlled area of Yemen, Save the Children has said.

Two more people are unaccounted for and eight were injured after a western-backed coalition missile blew up a petrol station next to Kitaf hospital in Saada province on Tuesday morning, the charity said.

The hospital had just opened for the day and many staff and patients were arriving at the building. One healthcare worker and their two children are among the dead, according to the organisation, which funds the facility.

Local media published pictures of the building, which appeared to have been levelled.
