Yemeni medical officials say Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in the rebel-held Red Sea port city of Hodeida have killed at least 10 people and wounded at least 32 others.
The officials say the airstrikes fell close to the city’s main public hospital, al-Thawra, situated near a popular fish market. The wounded, mostly civilians, were hospitalized.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
The Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognized government has been seeking to retake rebel-held areas along Yemen’s west coast including the vital city of Hodeida, the main entry point for food in a country teetering on the brink of famine.
The coalition has been at war with the Iran-aligned rebels, known as Houthis, since March 2015.
