Saudi airstrikes in Yemen’s capital Sanaa kill 29

The Saudi-led coalition’s airstrikes against Yemen’s Shiite rebels and their allies have killed 29 people, including civilians, in the capital Sanaa, security and medical officials there said on Saturday. 

The airstrikes hit an apartment building in the centre of the capital, a UNESCO world heritage site, killing a family of nine, the officials who remain neutral in the conflict that has divided Yemen’s security forces said. One more civilian was killed and the search for more that may be buried under rubble is ongoing. The rebels, known as Houthis, lost 19 fighters in the overnight attack, the officials said.
