Yemen’s Houthi-run health ministry said airstrikes near the capital, Sanaa, killed at least 33 people and wounded 39 on Saturday, November 7, Reuters reported.
Houthi officials blamed Saudi Arabia. Reuters said it could not independently verify the account. Saudi Arabia’s Center for International Communication told the agency it was investigating the report; that response does not confirm Saudi responsibility.
The latest figures are higher than the 27 dead and 36 wounded cited in an earlier Associated Press report. AP identified the affected village as al-Shariya, northeast of Sanaa, and also said it could not independently verify the Houthi claims.
The reports concern territory controlled by the Houthis, the armed movement that holds Yemen’s capital. Their casualty figures and attribution of the strikes remain unverified.
