35 people killed in air strikes in Yemen

At least 35 people were killed and 13 others injured in air strikes that hit a small hotel near a Houthi-run checkpoint north of the capital Sanaa.A local television channel run by the country's Huthi rebels, who control Sanaa, reported the roof of the hotel collapsed, leaving at least two bodies dangling from the building, said a witness in the Arhab area, about 20 kilometre from Sanaa.

The report said the attack hit a small hotel but made no



direct reference to civilian casualties or fighters. A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, which is fighting the Iranian-allied Houthis in Yemen, was not available for comment.

The Houthis, who control Sanaa and northern Yemen, are fighting Yemen's internationally recognized government, which is backed by the Saudi-led military alliance in a war which has killed at least 10,000 people and unleashed a humanitarian disaster.
