SANAA, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- A Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a house in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Friday, killing one and injuring three others, a hospital official told Xinhua.

The victims were members of a family living in the July 7 Neighbourhood, the official said by phone on condition of anonymity.

The pro-government online news website al-Hodeidah.net and the Houthi-controlled Saba news agency reported the airstrike.

The Hodeidah port is a main entry point of about 70 percent of Yemen's food, medicines, aid and fuel.

Last month, a coalition airstrike killed four employees at a radio station in Hodeidah.

Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab military coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015 to support the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after the Houthi rebels forced him into exile.
