Saudi-Led Coalition's Airstrike Kills Yemeni Judge, Family
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - At least 10 people, including a local judge, were killed in a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on the Yemeni capital of Sana'a, a military source told Sputnik.
"The coalition planes launched airstrikes against the judge’s house… The building was destroyed in the airstrike, the judge and his nine relatives died," the source said.
According to the source, another attack was carried out on a local bureau of forensic medicine.
Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the government and Houthis, the country’s main opposition faction who control the capital, for more than a year.
The Houthis say their rise to power is a revolution against corrupt officials beholden to Saudi Arabia and the West.
A coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been bombing Houthis since March. Nearly 6,000 people have been killed, around half of them civilians, according to UN figures.
The coalition has repeatedly been accused of targeting civilians, as well as using banned munitions.
