26 Killed in Yemen Airstrike

by VOA News

   Medics and a Yemeni health official say at least 26 people have died in
   an airstrike in northwestern Yemen.

   The airstrike Wednesday hit a hotel and neighboring market in Saada
   province, which is located near the border with Saudi Arabia.

   Houthi rebels, who took control of Yemen's capital three years ago,
   blamed a Saudi-led coalition for conducting the airstrike.

   Rights groups have accused the coalition of bombing civilian areas
   since launching its operation in support of Yemen's internationally
   recognized government in March 2015.
