Saudi-led coalition air strikes kill at least six civilians, including four children, in Yemen's Sanaa
People gather at the site of an air strike launched by the Saudi-led coalition in Sanaa, Yemen May 16, 2019.
The Sanaa strikes targeted nine military sites in and around the city, residents said. A witness said houses had been damaged in the raids and that people lifted a body out of the rubble of one home. One resident reported a strike near a densely-populated district and said ambulances rushed to the area, where flames and clouds of smoke could be seen.
Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war pitting the Houthis against the government of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, since March 2015. The Sanaa air strikes and renewed fighting in Yemen's Hudaida port that breached a UN-sponsored truce in the Red Sea city could complicate peace efforts to end the four-year war that has killed tens of thousands of people, many of them civilians, and pushed the country to the brink of famine.The coalition receives arms and intelligence from Western nations to try to restore Hadi's government, now based in the southern port of Aden.
"The Houthis are an integral part of the Revolutionary Guard forces of Iran and follow their orders, as proven by them targeting installations in the kingdom," Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al Jubeir tweeted.
