Yemen: Air Raid Kills At Least 13 Civilians, Incl. 7 Children in Sana'a
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, local authorities reported at least 13 civilians, including at
least seven children, were killed after an air raid on a warehouse in
the capital Sana'a on Sunday. Another 100 were reportedly injured.
Houthi rebels say the Saudi-led airstrikes targeted a weapons storage
site that was located close to homes and a school.

The U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war in Yemen has killed thousands of
civilians and sparked the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with 10
million people facing famine. Last week, congressmembers in the House
joined their colleagues in the Senate to back a War Powers Resolution
calling for an end to U.S. support for the war. President Trump is
expected to veto the resolution.
