Airstrike in Sanaa kills 33, Houthi blame Saudi
39 people were wounded, including children, as the Saudi-led coalition had not responded to the strike allegations.
Houthi authorities accused an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition of killing 33 people in Al-Shariya Village, Sanaa Province, Yemen, on Saturday (7/11). Houthi Health Ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said the dead included 12 men, eight women and 13 children, while 39 others were wounded. The Houthi-run Saba news agency reported rescue operations were still under way in the rubble, and two strikes were also said to have hit medical teams at the scene. Saudi Arabia, which backs the internationally recognized Yemeni government, had not responded to the allegations. On the same day, the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a Houthi missile launched toward Riyadh Province. Fighting in Yemen has escalated again since July after several years of relative calm.
