45 dead in Saudi-led raids on Yemeni capital
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwenty civilians were among at least 45 people killed in Saudi-led air strikes on the rebel-held armed forces headquarters in the Yemeni capital on Sunday, a medic says.
The raids on the army headquarters in central Sanaa came a day after the kingdom’s air defenses shot down a Scud missile fired from the war-torn country.
“At least 20 civilians and 25 soldiers and officers were killed” in four raids that hit the headquarters in the Tahrir residential neighborhood in central Sanaa, the medic adds.
The raids hit residential buildings, including five houses that were completely destroyed, witnesses report.
The rebel-controlled Saba news agency says 44 people were killed and more than 100 wounded, “including woman and children.”
