72 killed in strikes across eight Yemeni provinces: Houthis

SANAA, Nov 8: Yemen’s Houthis say at least 72 people have been killed in air strikes across eight provinces.

The group said the strikes were concentrated in the BaniHushaish area, east of the Houthi-held capital Sanaa, an Al Jazeera correspondent on the ground reports.

The Houthis have accused the Saudi-led coalition of targeting civilian facilities and infrastructure, saying the death toll is expected to rise.

There was no immediate response from the coalition that is backing Yemen’s internationally recognized government based in the city of Aden.

More than 300,000 people, including nearly 165,000 children, have been displaced in Yemen, says UNICEF regional spokesperson Salim Oweis.�" AL JAZEERA
