Saudi-Led Airstrikes Kill 14 Civilians In Yemen's Capital

Local Editor

Yemeni eyewitnesses say Saudi-led airstrikes have hit at least three houses in the capital, Sana’a, killing at least 14 civilians, including women and children.

They say the attack took please overnight and into the morning hours on Friday in the city's southern neighborhood of Fag Attan. The death toll was expected to rise further as rescuers pull more victims from under the rubble.

Earlier this week, coalition fighter jets struck a hotel in Arhab, north of Sana’a, killing at least 41 people.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a destructive military campaign against Yemen since March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Houthi movement.

The campaign has seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. Local Yemeni sources have put the death toll from the Saudi war at over 12,000, including many women and children.
