At least 10 children were killed and dozens more injured in an airstrike on a school in Saada reportedly by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen . Yemeni officials and aid workers said that the strike occurred, deep in the Houthis’ northern heartland.
Aid group Doctors Without Borders condemned the attack on social media, saying that all ten killed and 28 injured, were between eight and 15 years old. The Islamic School released some of the names of those killed.
The conflict in Yemen pits the internationally-recognized
government backed by the Saudi-led coalition against the Shiite rebels, who captured the capital in September 2014.
Rights groups and UN agencies say that more than 9,000 people have been killed during the conflict.
