Air strike kills 10 in Yemen

Yemen: Aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres in Northern Yemen says at least 10 children have been killed and 21 others wounded after an attack which the country's dominant Houthi group claims was carried out by a Saudi-led air strike on a school.

The incident happened as Yemen's parliament convened for the first time in nearly two years, in a move that strengthens the Houthi movement and challenges the Saudi-backed exiled government.

Saudi Arabia and its allies have launched thousands of air strikes against the Houthis since they drove the internationally recognised government into exile last year.

"@MSF received today 21 injured & 10 deaths in Haydan #Saada. All were under 15 years old," the medical aid group said on its official Twitter handle.

A senior official from the Houthi movement Mohammed Abdul-Salam,whose main support base is in Saada, blamed the attack on the mostly Gulf Arab military coalition.
