YEMEN-LD ATTACK
7 children among 16 killed by air strikes in Yemen
Dubai, Sep 24 (AFP) Air strikes allegedly carried out by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed rebels in Yemen on Tuesday killed 16 people including seven children, an official and a doctor said.
The raid came days after the Huthi insurgents offered to halt drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia as part of efforts to end a war that has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine.
The rebels claimed responsibility for the September 14 attacks on Saudi oil installations that knocked out half of the OPEC kingpin's production and sent shockwaves through energy markets.
The United States and Saudi Arabia have however blamed Iran, saying the strikes were carried out with advanced cruise missiles and drones.
Tuesday's air strikes in Qatabah in Daleh province in south Yemen, partly controlled by the rebels, marked the first major attack believed to have been carried out by the coalition since the Huthis' offer.
"Sixteen people, including women and children, were killed and nine others injured" in a "coalition" air raid targeting a residence in Daleh, a local official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
A doctor at Al Thawra hospital in Ibb province where the bodies of those killed were taken said seven children and four women were among the dead.
The Huthi rebels condemned the coalition for its "continued aggression" against the Yemeni people, according to their Al-Masirah television.
The coalition could not be immediately reached for comment.
Saudi Arabia gave a cautious response on Saturday to the Huthis' offer.
"We judge other parties by their deeds, actions and not by their words, so we will see (whether) they actually do this or not," said Saudi minister of state for foreign affairs Adel al-Jubeir.
"And regarding what prompted them to do this... we have to do more intensive studies," he said at a press conference in Riyadh.
The UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths welcomed the rebels' offer, saying it could bring an end to the bloody conflict.
Implementation of the initiative by the Huthis "in good faith could send a powerful message of the will to end the war", he said.
Andreas Kreig, a professor at King's College, London, however said the rebels could be trying to confuse the international community.
"The Iranians are using this peace offer to sow confusion in the international community," Kreig told AFP.
"Because amid this peace offer the UN will try ... and prevent any escalatory retaliation from the US or Saudi," he said.
Tens of thousands of people, most of them civilians, have been killed since Saudi Arabia and its allies intervened in March 2015 in support of the beleaguered government after the rebels captured the capital Sanaa.
The fighting has displaced millions and left 24.1 million -- more than two-thirds of the population -- in need of aid.
The United Nations has described Yemen as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. (AFP)
