Banned cluster munitions have wounded civilians including a child in attacks in Houthi-controlled territory in northern Yemen, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch visited the Saada governorate in northern Yemen, including one of the sites that had been attacked, on May 15 and 16, 2015.
