Shafaq News reported that Saudi airstrikes targeted homes in the village of al-Sharya in Sanaa Governorate, Yemen, killing 27 people.
According to the report, most of those killed were women and children. Dozens of other people were also wounded in the attack.
Yemen has been experiencing an armed conflict for years between the internationally recognised government and the Houthi group, which controls the capital, Sanaa. Saudi Arabia has been part of a military coalition supporting the Yemeni government since 2015.
The report did not include further details about the timing of the airstrikes or the party that officially claimed responsibility, and it did not mention any response from the Saudi side by the time of publication.
Civilians in Yemen continue to face the effects of the ongoing conflict, and the humanitarian situation there remains under close watch by international organisations and the media.
