Israeli forces carried out airstrikes in Yemen, killing at least 35 people, wounding more than 130, and causing damaged to Yemen’s national museum and other historical sites in the capital, the Yemeni Ministry of Culture said Thursday, AP reports.
The status of the artifacts inside the museum is still unclear, but thousands of historical artifacts are at risk of damage, according to the ministry.
AP photos and video footage from the site of Wednesday’s strike showed damage to the building’s facade.
The ministry called on the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO to condemn the attack and to intervene to help protect the historical building and its artifacts.
Most of those killed were in Sanaa, the capital, where a military headquarters and a fuel station were hit on Wednesday, the Yemeni health ministry said.
