🚨 AIRSTRIKE KILLS 5 CHILDREN, WOUNDS 11 MORE IN HOUTHI-HELD SAADA

An airstrike hit a house in Sahar district in Yemen’s northern Saada province, killing at least nine people, including five children and two women, the Houthi-run Health Ministry said.

Another 19 people were wounded, including 11 children.

The Houthis blamed Saudi Arabia for the strike. Riyadh has not commented.

The casualty figures come from Houthi authorities and have not been independently confirmed.

2 Houthis have been using 13-17 year olds as weapon carriers, combat assistants, etc. for at least the past month or so.

Hamas has done this for many years.

3 I wonder if there were any high value targets there? If it was an Israeli or maybe a US hit the chances would be good but have doubts that Saudis would be that capable.
