Saudi-led coalition aircraft struck the Yemeni capital Sana’a on Wednesday, killing at least 39 people and wounding 90 others, officials and witnesses said.
The officials said the airstrikes, which took place late Tuesday and Wednesday morning, were targeting a military camp.
They said several buildings were damaged and dozens remain trapped under the rubble. Rescue teams were said to have had pulled out 35 bodies from the rubble, while the rest were not accounted for.
It was the latest in a string of air raids the coalition has conducted on Sana’a and other parts of the country, sometimes causing multiple casualties among civilians.
A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition could not immediately be reached for comment on the report.
The United States and Britain provide political backing as well as weapons and logistical support for the Saudi-led coalition, which has been bombing Yemeni since 2015 to restore resigned president, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, to power.
The campaign has seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. In its tallies released in February, Yemen’s Legal Center for Rights and Development said the Saudi war had killed over 12,000 civilians, including 2,568 kids.
