SANAA, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- A Saudi-led airstrike killed a family of seven members in the Yemeni northern province of Saada on Monday, a provincial security official told Xinhua by phone.

The family -- father, mother and five children -- were killed in the morning when the airstrike, conducted by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels, hit their home in Masa'ebah area.

The airstrike completely destroyed the house to the ground and damaged homes of nearby residents.

Medics said five other civilians were seriously wounded.

The attack was the latest in a series of airstrikes conducted by the U.S.-backed Saudi-led coalition air force since the start of the war in Yemen three years ago.

Last week, the coalition fighter jets hit a farm in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, killing eight workers, according to local officials and medics.

The Saudi-led coalition has intervened in the Yemeni conflict since March 2015 to roll back the Houthi militants and support the internationally-recognized President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who was forced into exile by the Houthis.

The war has killed over 10,000 Yemenis, mostly children, and displaced 3 million others, creating one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
