Yemen: Rocket Fire and Airstrikes Kill 67 People

HeadlineJul 20, 2015

In Yemen, dozens of people have been killed in the ongoing battle over control of the southern city of Aden. On Sunday, Houthi fighters fired rockets into one of the city’s residential neighborhoods, killing at least 43 people. Sunday’s assault came two days after the Saudi-backed forces loyal to the exiled government declared they had taken control of Aden. Meanwhile, another 24 people were killed in Saudi-led airstrikes in the Ibb district of Yemen over the weekend. Twelve of the bombings’ victims were members of the same family.
