SANAA, May 10 (Xinhua) -- Six civilians, including an entire family, were killed in an overnight Saudi-led coalition airstrike, officials and residents said on Thursday.

Residents said they heard the sounds of planes at midnight and they accounted four separate powerful explosions on a family's house in Al-Azrakayeen district, north of the capital Sanaa.

A father, his wife and their two children were killed, as well as two workers in nearby popular restaurant were also killed from flying shrapnel of the military airstrike, a security official and the residents said.

Six other people, including a woman and three children, were wounded from the air attack, they said.

The targeted house, located on a regular road linking Sanaa to the northern province of Amran, was totally destroyed and several adjacent houses and shops were damaged.

On Monday, a coalition airstrike hit the presidential office in the most densely populated area at the heart of Sanaa at noon, killing six people, mostly from passers-by including a 13-year-old student.

The coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in March 2015 to roll back the Iranian-allied Shiite Houthi rebels and support the internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The rebels have seized control over much of the country's north since September 2014, including the capital Sanaa, and forced President Hadi and his government into exile in Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia.

The war has killed more than 10,000 Yemenis, mostly civilians, and displaced 3 million others, triggering one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
