Yemen: Two car bombs kill 15 female primary school students and 10 Houthi rebels
Two car bombs exploded south of the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa on Tuesday, hitting a school bus traveling near a Shia gathering and killing 25 people including at least 15 primary school students, a Shia group said.
The Shia rebel fighters, known as Houthis, blamed Al-Qaeda for the attack in the Radaa area of Baydah province, calling it “the ugliest crime against childhood.” The group said the school bus was carrying female primary school students.
The Houthis have made significant military advances in recent months, seizing control of the capital and other strategic cities.
It was not clear if the other 10 killed in the attack were Houthi fighters or civilians.
