Coalition destroys rebel arms depot | Arab News
Published — Wednesday 13 May 2015
SANAA: Several casualties were reported following an attack by Saudi-led warplanes at an arms depot on the outskirts of Sanaa, a medical official said Tuesday.
Residents said that explosions at a military base at Mount Noqum, in the eastern outskirts of Yemen’s capital, lasted until midday on Tuesday after coalition jets struck the depot late Monday.
The depot was bombed again on Tuesday, an AFP correspondent said.
The strikes set off huge explosions that sent debris crashing into a residential area at the foot of the mountain.
Quiet returned to Sanaa as the newly appointed UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, arrived after touring Gulf members of the coalition.
“We are convinced that dialogue is the only way to solve the Yemeni problem,” the rebel-controlled Saba news agency quoted him as saying.
Human Rights Watch warned the Houthis had intensified recruitment of children in violation of international law.
Commanders of the rebels and other groups “should stop using children or risk prosecution for war crimes,” HRW said.
