Saudi-Led Coalition Airstrikes Kill 16 Civilians in Yemen
---------------------------------------------------------

Officials in Yemen say seven children were among 16 people killed
Tuesday when a Saudi-led coalition airstrike tore through a residence in
a Houthi-controlled province in Yemen's southwest. Graphic video posted
on social media showed the remains of children's bodies, and residents
burying victims in a mass grave. The latest deadly attack on civilians
by the U.S.-supported coalition comes less than a week after Houthi
rebels claimed responsibility for an attack on a Saudi oil facility.
Houthi leaders have offered to halt missile and drone attacks on Saudi
Arabia in exchange for a similar ceasefire.
