SANAA: An air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on a primary school in rebel-held **rthern Yemen on Tuesday killed five people including two children, medical and military sources said.
The headmaster and two other staff members were among those killed in the air raid in the district of Nihm, **rtheast of the capital Sanaa, which also left 13 wounded, the sources said. A medical source at Kuwait Hospital in Sanaa confirmed the casualty toll.
A government military official said the school was hit by two missiles by mistake, accusing the Huthi rebels of keeping armoured vehicles nearby.
The rebels´ saba.ye news website said eight people had been killed and 15 wounded.
Human rights groups have repeatedly criticised the coalition over the civilian death toll from the bombing campaign it launched in March 2015.
But a probe commissioned by the coalition claimed that the closest targets hit by warplanes were 10 kilometres away from the school.
