Saudi-led coalition airstrike in Yemen kills 29 people

SANAA, Yemen – A suspected airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Shiite rebels in Yemen killed at least 29 people, including children, in the country's north, a Yemeni health official said Wednesday.

 

Abdellah al-Ezi, head of the health office of the northern Saada province, said the airstrike struck a small hotel in a market, wounding 28 other people. Saada, which borders Saudi Arabia, is a stronghold of the Iran-backed rebels, known as Houthis.

 

Footage obtained by The Associated Press shows a bulldozer removing wreckage and debris from the site of the airstrike.
