SANAA (Web Desk) -Saudi air strikes killed 44 people during an air raid on the main headquarters of the Yemeni army in central Sanaa on Sunday.
The Houthi-run state news agency Saba said that that more than 100 people, including civilians, were also wounded in the attack which also destroyed private houses in the Tahrir district in central Sanaa.
Residents had earlier said that four explosions shook the compound, where soldiers allied with the Houthi group that dominates Yemen had gathered since Saturday evening to get their pay cheques.
“More than 44 citizens were martyred and 100 others including women and children, according to preliminary figures,” the agency said.
It is pertinent to mention here that Saudi-led forces have been pounding the Houthis since March 26 in a campaign aimed at restoring President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power.
