Half a dozen children were killed after a rocket hit a school in a Saudi-led coalition air raid in central Yemen, Sputnik reported citing a military source. The Red Cross has warned of a “catastrophic” situation as shelling in Yemen intensified.
“So far we have recovered the bodies of three students, the bodies of the remaining [three students] are still being removed,” the source told the agency.
The targeted school was reportedly in a central province, located between Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and the port city of Aden.
PressTV also reported the airstrikes hitting a school in Yemen’s central Ibb governorate, stating that at least six children were killed.
Similar reports were covered by the CNN, which cited Yemen’s officials as saying that the airstrike hit the school while targeting a nearby military base. At the time of the attack, children were on their way to lunch. The school is allegedly located just 500 meters from the base.
In late March, five Gulf states and Egypt launched airstrikes targeting Shiite Houthi rebels, who had seized the Yemeni capital and large territories in the west of the country. Jordan, Sudan, Morocco and Pakistan also expressed willingness to join in the military operation. Full story...
