Four children have been killed in a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on a remote hospital in Yemen, according to Save the Children.
Three others were killed during the attack on Tuesday, and at least eight others were wounded after the missile struck a petrol station near the entrance of the rural hospital, around 100km from Saada in the country's northwest, the charity said. Two adults remain unaccounted for.
A health worker and their two children were among those killed.

State Dept Issues Rare Call for Probe After Saudis Bomb Yemen Hospital
Says US wants 'all sides' to take steps to protect civilians

In an extremely rare move, the US State Department has called for a “transparent†investigation into the Tuesday Saudi airstrike against a Save the Children hospital in northern Yemen. The attack killed seven civilians including a staff member and four children.
State Department spokesman Robert Palladino told the media that the Saudis have referred the “results†of the attack to the joint incident assessments team for further review. The US has historically broadly supported the Saudis extremely opaque claims to investigate incidents of civilian deaths.
It is particularly unusual for the Trump Administration to call for an investigation now, as it comes amid an ongoing battle with Congress over America’s involvement in the war, in which the administration is trying to argue to Congress that the Saudis are not targeting civilians.
