Human Rights Watch says Saudi-led air strikes in Yemen are war crimes

None

DUBAI - Human Rights Watch accused the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen of war crimes on Tuesday, saying its air strikes killed 39 civilians including 26 children in two months.

 

The rights group said five air strikes hitting four family homes and a grocery store were were carried out either deliberately or recklessly, causing indiscriminate loss of civilian lives in violation of the laws of war.

 

The coalition has repeatedly denied allegations of war crimes and says its attacks are directed against its foes in Yemen's armed Houthi movement and not civilians.
