It was not known if there were any Houthi rebel leaders present at the time of the airstrikes in Sanaa or if any were killed or wounded. SANAA, Yemen—Airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Shiite rebels targeted the presidency building in the heart of the Yemeni capital on Monday, leaving at least six people dead and 30 wounded, according to health officials. Saudi officials later said they had targeted high-ranking rebel officials who had been there and that several must have been killed. The Saudi-led coalition has been at war with the Houthis since 2015, hoping to restore the country’s internationally recognized government. Last month, the coalition killed a top Houthi leader, Salah al-Sammad, in the Red Sea port city of Hodeida.
