Saudi air strike kills 3, injures several in Yemen
2015-04-01
[Iran Press TV] Three people have been killed and several others injured in the latest Saudi-led Arclight airstrike on the northwestern Yemeni province of Hajjah.

Earlier on Tuesday night, Saudi warplanes also attacked Ma'rib and hit two targets in the northwestern city of Sa'da.

over the civilian corpse count in Yemen following days of Saudi-led Arclight airstrikes against the country.

"We are extremely concerned about the impact of the fighting in Yemen which has terrible consequences for the population," said a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in a statement on Tuesday.

The EU added that it is distressed by the civilian casualties and that it has strong concerns over Monday's air raid on the al-Mazrak displaced people camp in northwestern Yemen, which reportedly claimed the lives of some 45 people.

"We call on all parties to the conflict to ensure the protection of civilians, that civilian infrastructure is not directly targeted," the statement added.
