SANAA, Yemen — The Israeli airstrikes in Yemen that killed at least 35 people and wounded more than 130 also caused damage to Yemen’s national museum and other historical sites in its capital city, the Houthi Culture Ministry says.
The status of the artifacts inside the museum is still unclear, but thousands of historical artifacts are at risk of damage, according to the ministry. Associated Press photos and video footage from the site of the strike showed damage to the building’s facade.
The ministry calls on the UN cultural agency UNESCO to condemn the attack and to intervene to help protect the historical building and its artifacts.
