SANA, Yemen — Dozens of people were feared dead after an airstrike on Monday morning by a Saudi-led military coalition set off a huge explosion that flattened homes in the Yemeni capital, according to witnesses.
The explosion shattered windows and shook buildings miles from the site of the attack, in the Faj Attan area of the capital, Sana. The wounded were taken to a nearby hospital in a stream of ambulances and trucks, and medical workers called for blood donations.

Explosion Rips Through Homes in Yemen’s Capital After Airstrike
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/21/world/middleeast/sana-yemen-explosion.htmlThe coalition has bombed military installations across the country but has also hit factories, gas stations and residential neighborhoods, according to witnesses and aid workers.
The relief organization Oxfam said in a statement on Sunday that the coalition had also bombed one of its storage facilities in Saada Province, in northwest Yemen.
“The contents of the warehouse had no military value,” the group said. “This is an absolute outrage, particularly when one considers that we have shared detailed information with the coalition on the locations of our offices and storage facilities.”
Rights workers have said that some of the strikes may amount to war crimes, for instance if civilians were deliberately targeted or if war planners failed to distinguish between civilians and combatants.
The Obama administration is supporting the Saudi-led military action by providing intelligence and logistical assistance.
A few hours after the explosion on Monday, as rescue workers dug through collapsed houses, warplanes could be heard circling overhead again.
