Car Bombing near Hospital in Yemen Capital

A car bomb exploded near a hospital in Yemen’s capital on Wednesday, causing casualties, witnesses said.

The blast went off near Ath-Thawra Hospital in Sanaa, where several attacks claimed by the ISIL ‘jihadist’ group have targeted the area.

The Yemeni army backed by the popular committees continued on Wednesday targeting al-Qaeda posts in various provinces, inflicting heavy losses upon the terrorists.

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen since March 26 to bring fugitive president Abed-Rabbu Mansour Hadi back to power.

The airstrikes have so far claimed the lives of more than 5,302 civilians, mostly women and children.
