Yemen conflict: Saudi airstrike may have killed more than 25 people at a dairy plant
- 9 years ago
More than two dozen civilians were killed in an explosion at a dairy factory in Yemen on Wednesday.
The dairy factory, located in Yemen's Hodaida port, is near an army camp loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, a Houthi ally. A Saudi airstrike targeted the factory just after midnight.
However, conflicting accounts attribute the explosion to rockets fired from the army base to counter the airstrike.
At least 25 were killed in the explosion, and more than 80 injured.
This is the largest single civilian tragedy since the Saudi-led air campaign against Houthi militia began on March 26. According to the United Nations, at least 93 civilians have been killed and more than 300 injured in the campaign.
