Save The Children says a hospital it supports in Yemen has been hit by an airstrike, and at least seven people have been killed.

The humanitarian organisation said in a statement that four of those killed were children. It said eight people were wounded and two adults are unaccounted for.

Save The Children said a missile struck a petrol station near the entrance to Ritaf rural hospital, about 60 miles from the city of Sa’dah in north-western Yemen at 9:30am local time on Tuesday.

It said: “The missile was said to have landed within 50 metres of the facility’s main building.”
