8 civilians die in Saudi-led strikes in Yemen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least eight civilians were killed and 20 wounded in explosions sparked by Saudi-led airstrikes on rebel arms depots in the Yemeni capital, a medical source says.
The strikes on the Mount Noqum base on the eastern outskirts of Sanaa sent munitions and shrapnel flying into adjacent residential neighbourhoods, witnesses say.
Debris from the explosions fell as far as five kilometers (more than three miles) away, triggering an exodus of residents for safer areas.
A previous coalition air raid on the Mount Noqum base on May 12 sparked similar secondary explosions that killed at least 69 civilians and wounded 250.
An April 21 raid on a missile base in the rebel-held capital triggered explosions that killed 38 people and wounded 532.
