At least 14 people have been killed by Saudi-led air strikes on the Yemeni capital Sana’a, according to rescuers and witnesses.

Six children were among those who died in the overnight attack on a residential district, rescue workers said.

At least three houses in the Faj Attan area on the outskirts of the city were hit by the strikes, all but reducing them to rubble, witnesses told Reuters news agency.

It came as the UN issued a sharp rebuke towards Saudi Arabia and its allies over the bombing campaign on Yemen, demanding an independent investigation into air strikes on a Sana’a hotel this week that killed dozens of people.
