Sanaa, August 31 (RHC)-- In Yemen, a Saudi-led airstrike has killed 36 civilians working at a bottling plant in the northern governorate of Hajjah. Another attack on the Yemeni capital Sanaa reportedly hit a house and killed four civilians.

The latest strikes in Yemen come amid new evidence the Saudi-led forces have used cluster munitions in Yemen.

Human Rights Watch said it found U.S.-made cluster munition rockets likely used in at least seven attacks in Hajjah governorate between late April and mid-July. Dozens of civilians were killed or wounded, both during the attacks and later, when they picked up unexploded submunitions that detonated.

Neither the United States, Saudi Arabia or Yemen have joined the global convention banning the use of cluster munitions.
