Four people have been killed at a hospital in northern Yemen that was hit by a “projectile”, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says.
“An MSF-supported hospital has been hit by a projectile in northern Yemen causing at least 4 dead and 10 injured,” the group said on Twitter.
“This is the 3rd severe incident in the last 3 months. Our teams struggle on a daily basis to ensure the respect of health facilities.”
MSF communications officer Malak Shaher told Reuters the hospital was in the Razeh district of Saada province.
She said MSF could not specify whether the centre was hit in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition, or by a rocket fired from the ground.
Saada is the heartland of the Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebels that the coalition has been bombing since March in support of Yemen’s beleaguered government.
MSF last month accused the coalition of bombing its clinic in Taez, south-west Yemen, where nine people were wounded including two agency staff.
