Parts of Yemen Historic Capital Reduced to Rubble; Six Dead

Parts of Yemen’s Old City of Sana’a were reduced to rubble, including some of its ornately decorated burnt brick tower-houses, in an airstrike during the early hours of Friday that left at least six people dead.

The Houthi rebel-controlled Saba news service said a Saudi Arabian warplane targeted the area and that children were among the wounded. It was the first direct hit on old Sana’a since a Saudi-led coalition began air raids in March in a bid to restore President Abdurabuh Mansur Hadi to power.
