The Health Ministry in Sanaa reports that after another person was confirmed killed in last night’s US air raids, the number of casualties has risen to seven killed and 29 wounded, including one in critical condition.
Houthi-run media said the target was a ceramics factory near the capital. The ministry said five children and a woman were among the wounded, and that the victims were workers of a factory as well as residents of houses next to it.
US strikes in Yemen killed 123 in less than a month: Ministry
The Houthi-run Health Ministry reports that at least 123 Yemeni people, including children and women, have been killed and 247 others wounded in US air attacks since March 16.
It condemned “blatant US aggression on the homeland and its direct targeting of civilian objects and civilians”, including the attacks on the factory near Sanaa last night that killed seven people and wounded 29 others, including five children.
“This crime, added to the criminal record of the American-Zionist enemy, is a full-fledged war crime and a flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions,” the ministry said.
It called on Arab and Islamic peoples, along with human rights organisations, to protest against the attacks.
