30 Yemeni Soldiers Killed in Attack During Military Exercise
------------------------------------------------------------

In southern Yemen, at least 30 soldiers were killed and 60 others
injured Sunday, after Houthi rebels fired missiles from a drone at a
Saudi-led coalition air base. The attack struck dozens of soldiers on
morning military exercises. It came as U.N.-brokered peace talks between
the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis have stalled. Since 2015,
Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen have killed nearly 1,500
civilians per year on average, a quarter of them children, while
sparking the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
