WAR REPORT
Four Yemen civilians among 9 dead in Saudi-led strike: medic

Dubai (AFP) Dec 4, 2021

A Saudi-led air strike in the battleground Yemeni province of Taez killed five rebel fighters and four civilians, a local official and a medical source said Saturday.

The Friday night strike targeted a rebel military vehicle as it was passing through Maqbanah district, about 35 kilometres (22 miles) northwest of Yemen's third largest city Taez.

"The Huthi military vehicle was passing down a road and four civilians got in before it was struck by coalition jets, resulting in all nine deaths," the official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

A medical source confirmed the death toll and added that two civilians were also wounded.

Rebel-controlled media said 18 civilians had been killed. There was no immediate comment from the coalition.

Taez remains under the control of the Saudi-backed government but most surrounding districts, including Maqbanah, are held by the rebels, leaving its population of around 600,000 dependent on a single supply route.

The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting alongside government forces since 2015, a year after the Huthi rebels overran the capital Sanaa.

Millions of people have been displaced by the fighting and more than 80 percent of the population require some form of assistance in what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

A UN report last week said 377,000 people will have died by the end of 2021 through direct and indirect impacts of the Yemen war.

Hiroshima attack flame offered for Pearl Harbor memorial
Tokyo (AFP) Dec 3, 2021
The family of a famed Hiroshima atomic bomb victim is fundraising to take a flame burning since the wartime attack to Pearl Harbor to light a peace monument, they said Friday. The "flame of peace" is said to have been taken from the smouldering ruins of Hiroshima after the world's first nuclear attack. It was kept alive first in a private home before being moved to a peace tower in Japan's Fukuoka in 1968. Now, the family of Sadako Sasaki, who died at 12 of radiation-induced leukaemia a decade a ... read more
