Saudi-led coalition aircraft attacked a Médecins Sans Frontières-supported hospital in northern Hajja province in Yemen on Monday, killing at least seven people and wounding 13.

The airstrike comes less than 48 hours after another attack on a school killed 10 children in Haydan, a region in Yemen's northwestern Saada province.

Reuters reported that a witness at the scene of Monday's attack in the Abs district said medics were not able to evacuate the wounded immediately, because they feared more attacks by warplanes that continued to fly over the area.

Médecins Sans Frontières, a humanitarian group also known as Doctors Without Borders, confirmed the airstrike on its official Twitter account, but said the number of deaths and injuries remained unclear.
