SANA, Yemen — The death toll of a suspected Saudi-led coalition airstrike that hit a family’s house in southern Yemen has been raised to 11, including four children from one family, security officials and witnesses said Wednesday.
The officials said that warplanes, thought to be Emirati, fired two missiles at the family’s house in the town of el-Mahala, in the southern province of Lahj. The house was flattened, and only one child from the family survived the strike, they said.
The officials said the home is next to a building that is suspected of housing Islamic militants.
The governor of Lahij, Naser al-Khoubeigi, has called on the Yemeni government and the coalition to conduct an investigation.
Security officials say the Saudi-led coalition regularly conducts unreported strikes and has detained many people, saying they are members of Al Qaeda or the local Islamic State group affiliate.
‘‘They have their own prisons,’’ one official said.
