DHAKA: The Indonesian embassy in Yemen was heavily damaged, while its two diplomats and one citizen were injured, in explosions that followed an air strike by Saudi-led coalition warplanes on a missile depot in the rebel-held Yemeni capital of Sana’a.

At least 15 people were dead and there were fears for dozens more after the air strikes that set off the explosions, The Straits Times reports.

Medics said at least 15 civilians were killed and dozens wounded and there were fears of a much higher death toll.

The two strikes on a missile depot in the Fajj Attan area of Sanaa sparked explosions that flattened nearby houses, shook faraway neighborhoods and sent clouds of thick smoke billowing over the capital.
