SANAA, 19 January 2022, (TON): An air strike killed about 14 people in a building in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, residents said, “during strikes across the city launched by the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi group.”
The alliance strikes on Houthi-held Sanaa followed an attack claimed by the Iran-aligned Houthis on Monday on coalition partner the United Arab Emirates, in Abu Dhabi, in which three people, including one Pakistani, were killed.
The coalition also said it intercepted eight drones launched toward Saudi Arabia.
The coalition said “it had begun air strikes against strongholds and camps in Sanaa belonging to the Houthi group.”
The strikes appeared to be the deadliest since 2019 on Sanaa.
The strike that killed about 14 people, according to initial estimates, was on the home of a former military official.
It killed him, his wife, his 25-year-old son, other family members and some unidentified people, a medical source and residents told Reuters.
