Saudi airstrikes near Yemen's Sanaa kill at least 11 to 22 people, Houthi-run sources say

Summary

Houthi-run media said on Saturday that Saudi airstrikes killed 11 people, including women and children, on homes in the Al-Shariyah area of Sanaa province. The Iran-backed Houthis' Saba news agency said rubble recovery was ongoing and that aircraft had targeted paramedics with two strikes. A later report citing a spokesman for the Houthi-run Health Ministry gave a higher toll of 22 killed and about 30 wounded, mostly women and children, in a town near Sanaa. A Middle East Eye live blog later reported the same ministry figure of 22 dead in the Bani Hashish district, including a cameraman for the Houthi-affiliated al-Masirah channel among the wounded. The reports differ on the death toll, and none of them includes independent confirmation.
