At least 10 people were killed in a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on a suburb in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Monday, medical sources and residents said.
The strike targeted a government building in the Waalan area in the south of Sanaa, sources said. Seven of those killed were from the same family.
Earlier on Sunday, five Saudi soldiers were killed near the border with Yemen in the southern province of Najran, the Saudi Press Agency reported, while a Saudi-led military coalition began an offensive to drive Houthi militia forces out of Yemen’s energy-rich Marib province.
Meanwhile, one Emirati serviceman was killed in the ground offensive in Marib, the United Arab Emirates state news agency WAM said late on Sunday.
Also on Sunday, Yemen’s exiled government pulled out of UN-mediated peace talks with the Houthis, casting doubt on the future of the talks that were meant to end the nearly six-month-old war.
