At least 37 workers were killed when Saud-US warplanes raided a dairy in western Yemen early on Wednesday after a seventh night of airstrikes.

Eighty others were wounded at the plant in Hodeida, provincial governor Hasan al-Hai said.

The head of the provincial health authorities, Abdulrahman Jarallah, gave a slightly different toll of 35 people killed and dozens wounded.

Part of the factory was destroyed and rescue teams were looking for survivors under the rubble, according to a medic at a Hodeida hospital that received the dead and wounded.

Saudi-led coalition warplanes have been bombing Yemen since last week, killing and injuring dozens of civilians. The attack is aimed at protecting the Saudi-backed former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
