Unesco condemns apparent airstrike on Yemen heritage site

World heritage body Unesco has condemned the destruction of what it calls one of the world's oldest jewels of Islamic culture in an apparent air strike in Yemen.

The Old City of Sanaa, a World Heritage site, was hit in a bombing raid by Saudi-led forces on Friday morning, killing five people.

Residents said it was the first direct hit on old Sanaa since the bombing of Houthi rebels started in late March.
