Saudi-led Coalition Air Strike Cost at least 19 Lies in Yemen

The coalition, which wants to restore Yemen’s internationally-recognised government, has not yet commented.

Coalition officials say it only targets military facilities, but it has been accused of hitting schools, hospitals, markets and homes since intervening in the conflict in Yemen 18 months ago.

At least 19 civilians have been killed in a Saudi-led coalition air strike in the Yemeni port city of Hudaydah, local officials and medics say.

The raid late on Wednesday reportedly targeted a presidential palace used by the Houthi rebel movement, but missiles also hit neighbouring houses.

Residents described the scene in the al-Hunoud district as carnage.
