Houthis say Saudi strikes kill 33 in Yemen
According to Houthi authorities, Saudi strikes killed 33 people, many of them women and children, in Yemen's Sanaa province, in one of the deadliest attacks reported since fighting resumed in the country.
The Houthis have reported that Saudi airstrikes in Yemen's Sanaa province killed 33 people, primarily women and children, in one of the deadliest attacks since hostilities resumed. The United Nations estimates that over 1,600 have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced since fighting between Saudi Arabia and Iran-aligned rebels escalated again in July.
The death toll from Saudi-led coalition strikes on Al-Shariya village, east of Yemen's capital Sanaa, has increased to 33 with 39 injured, according to Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi. Houthi media said recovery efforts were ongoing and that aircraft targeted paramedics in two strikes. The rebels claim 12 men, 8 women and 13 children died, while 16 men, 10 women and 13 children were injured. Al-Shariya is located east of Sanaa.
