In Yemen

The Saudi-led coalition launched a military operation north of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah against what it described as "legitimate military targets", Saudi state TV Al Ekhbariya informs, as Reuters reports.
The coalition said it had called on civilians to stay away from the area and said the operation was carried out in accordance with humanitarian law.

The Saudi-led coalition intervened in Aden on Aug. 11 in support of the Yemeni government after southern separatists effectively took over the port city, fracturing the alliance that had been focused on battling the Iran-aligned Houthi movement.

Turkey condemned attacks on Aug. 1 which killed at least 49 people in Yemen's temporary capital.

A record number of more than 12,000 children were killed or injured in armed conflict last year, the UN reports.
Most children have been killed in Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria and Yemen, according to a UN report cited by the BTA.

A Turkish agency distributed 1,000 packages of food in Yemen's southern Lahij province.
