Saudi warplanes have bombed�a residential neighborhood in Yemen�s northwestern�province of Amran, killing at least eight civilians and leaving several others�injured.

The new airstrike on Thursday took place�in the Souq Najar district, some�53�kilometers�(33 miles) northwest of the capital�Sana�a, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.

Yemeni army forces and fighters from allied Popular Committees�targeted the Kofel military�camp in the central province of�Ma'rib, with reports of casualties among�militiamen loyal to resigned�president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

Saudi Arabia has stepped up its attacks, especially against Sana'a,�since the Yemenis unveiled a council to administer the country.

On Wednesday, Saudi warplanes struck the Razih district in Yemen�s northwestern province of Sa�ada, leaving a child dead and six others injured.

Saudi military aircraft also carried out three airstrikes against the Baqim district, and bombarded a school in the Sahar district of the same Yemeni province. There were no reports about possible casualties and the extent of damage.

Additionally, four civilians sustained injuries on Wednesday�when Saudi warplanes pounded the Fisheries Building in the southern Yemeni port city of Mokha, situated 346 kilometers (214 miles) south of Sana�a.

Yemen has been under airstrikes by Saudi Arabia since March 26, 2015. The Saudi war was launched in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who has resigned as Yemen�s president but seeks to forcefully return to power.

Ansarullah fighters took over state matters after Hadi�s resignation and his escape from the capital.

The UN�puts the death toll from the 18-month conflict in Yemen at about 10,000.�UN�Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen�Jamie McGoldrick said last month the toll could rise even further�as some areas had no medical facilities, and that people were often buried without any official record being made.
