At least 17 Yemeni civilians, including women and children, had been killed and a number of others wounded in the fresh wave of Saudi air raids against its impoverished neighbor.

On Thursday, 15 civilians were killed when Saudi warplanes bombed two residential buildings in the town of Khayran al-Muharraq in Yemen's northwestern province of Hajjah.

A Yemeni civilian was killed and three others wounded in airstrikes against a beverage producing factory in the western province of Hudaydah, causing heavy property damage on the compound.

The Saudi military had carried out a similar attack against another beverage producing factory in the capital Sanaa a day earlier.

A Yemeni child also lost her life as Saudi bombers targeted the Saqin district of the northwestern province of Sa'ada.

Saudi airstrikes also hit residential areas in the city of Sirwah in Marib Province, causing damages to buildings.
