SANAA, Yemen - Saudi-led coalition's fighter jets rained bombs on Friday over the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, levelling houses packed with civilians and killing at least 14 people, including eight members of a single family, relatives and witnesses said.

The bombing was the latest in a significant escalation in the Saudi-led coalition's air campaign in Yemen.

Over the past two years, more than 10,000 people have been killed and 3 million displaced amid the coalition's relentless air campaign against Yemen's Iran-backed Shiite rebels.

The Saudi-led airstrikes have hit schools, hospitals, and markets, killing thousands of civilians and prompting rights groups to accuse the coalition of war crimes.

The rebel alliance controls much of northern Yemen, including Sanaa while the coalition along with the internationally-recognized government of Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi controls much of the south.

Yemen's brutal war has shown no signs of abating and U.S. support for the coalition led by Riyadh appears to be only increasing.
