Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's rebels strikes capital Sanaa, killing 20 people, including a high-ranking Houthi military officer and civilians, medics and residents say
Search and rescue operations are ongoing after Saudi-led coalition air strikes killed over a dozen in Yemen's capital Sanaa.
Sanaa residents were combing the rubble for survivors of the strikes that levelled two houses, hours after the Houthis had killed three people on Monday in a drone and missile attack on the UAE capital Abu Dhabi. The attack on the renowned Middle East safe haven of the UAE opened a new front in the seven-year war and followed a surge in fighting in Yemen, including battles between the rebels and UAE-trained troops.
After the attacks, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed agreed to "jointly stand up to these acts of aggression", UAE state media said.But the deadly Saudi counter-strikes against the Houthis received harsh criticism from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who said he "deplores" the "numerous civilian casualties," his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.
