An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition targeted a building used by police in Yemen’s capital, San'a, killing at least 20 people and wounding about 15, security officials said on Monday.
The officials, who are loyal to antigovernment Shiite rebels known as Houthis, said that about another 30 people were believed to be trapped under the debris of the building.
Police vehicles in the courtyard were destroyed and nearby homes damaged in the strike, they said.
The dead and wounded were policemen and Houthi rebels, they added.
Security forces sealed off the area in central San’a as earth-moving equipment was brought in to help with the search for survivors and bodies.
The airstrike took place shortly before midnight on Sunday, according to the officials, who had no further details.
