SANAA, Yemen—An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition targeted a building used by police in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, killing at least 20 people and wounding about 15, Security officials said on Monday.
The officials, who are loyal to anti-government Shiite rebels known as the Houthis, said some 30 more people are believed to be still trapped under the debris of the badly damaged building in central Sanaa. Police vehicles parked in the facility’s courtyard were destroyed and nearby homes suffered some damage, they said.
The dead and wounded were policemen and Houthi rebels, they said.
Security forces sealed off the area as earth-moving equipment arrived to help with the search for bodies and survivors under the debris.
