HRW releases new evidence of Saudi use of cluster bombs in Yemen

Human Rights Watch releases new evidence of the use of internationally banned cluster bombs in Saudi Arabia's bombardment of Yemen.
The rights group has urged the aggressors to halt the use of the bombs which it says harm civilians. The HRW has posted online photos, showing remnants of cluster munitions and unexploded sub-munitions found in several areas, including Nushoor and Maqash in the northern Sa’ada province. The HRW says it has identified the use of three types of cluster munitions in Yemen. Earlier in May, the group published evidence showing that Saudi Arabia and its allies used US-supplied cluster bombs against Yemen. The munitions spread bomblets over a vast area. The weapons have been banned under a treaty signed by 116 countries.
