Coalition planes hit Yemen compound holding militant suspects

None

DUBAI- Yemen's Houthi group said aircraft of an Arab coalition bombed a security compound in the capital Sanaa where suspected al Qaeda militants and foreigners accused of spying, including Americans, are held.

 

The Saudi-led coalition has been conducting air raids against outposts and military facilities of the Iran-aligned Houthis and forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh since March last year in a campaign to try to restore ousted president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

 

The Houthi group, in a statement carried by sabanews.net news agency, quoted a source at the country's national security service as saying that coalition aircraft had caused a number of casualties among residents living in the vicinity of the compound that was bombed.
