At Least 30 Killed in Yemen Air Strike

Sanaa(August 23, 2017): An air strike near the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, has killed at least 30 people, witnesses and local media said.

Dozens of people were also wounded in the attack, which struck north of Sanaa in the Arhab area.

The numbers of dead and wounded could not be exactly confirmed. More than 10,000 people have been killed and three million displaced from their homes since February 2014, according to theĀ UN.

Yemen, which is on the southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, has been engulfed in war since September 2014, when Houthi Shia rebels swept into the capital and overthrew President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s internationally recognised government.

Since then, the Iranian-backed Houthis have been dislodged from most of the south, but remain in control of Sanaa and much of the north.
