At least 25 people killed in airstrike near Yemen's capital
Airstrikes near Sanaa, Yemen, have resulted in at least 25 deaths, primarily among women and children, according to a Houthi health ministry spokesperson. The spokesperson accused Saudi Arabia of conducting the attacks, which Saudi Arabia has not claimed responsibility for. Social media footage shows the aftermath, with medical personnel carrying the bodies of children and treating injured survivors. The spokesperson noted that civilians remain trapped under rubble, and subsequent strikes targeted rescuers. Yemen has been embroiled in civil war since 2014, with recent escalations in violence. The Saudi-led coalition continues airstrikes in Houthi areas, while ground battles intensify around the besieged city of Taiz, leading to severe shortages of essential supplies. Human Rights Watch has raised concerns about potential war crimes by the Houthis.
