Saudi bombing destroys Yemeni telecommunications tower

SAUDI war planes destroyed a telecommunications building in the Yemeni capital Sanaa today as the Saudi-led coalition continued to target the country’s infrastructure.

The Yemen International Telecommunications Co (TeleYemen) building in the al-Thawra district was destroyed in two missile strikes that also damaged a nearby structure.

It comes less than three weeks after similar air strikes cut off the internet and international telecommunications in the capital, which has been in the hands of the Houthi movement since 2015, when a popular uprising ousted the Saudi-backed government of president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
