At least 31 people have been killed in airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen on Saturday. The United Nations office in Yemen said, preliminary field reports indicated that as many as 31 civilians were killed and 12 others injured in strikes that hit Al-Hayjah area in Al-Jawf province.

The strike followed a Houthi claim to have downed a coalition Tornado warplane in the area on Friday.

The Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 after the Houthis ousted the internationally recognized government from power in 2014.
