Iranian state media said that Saudi-led coalition planes deliberately struck the Iranian embassy in Yemen, although the accuracy of the claims are yet to be verified. Other sources say airstrikes only struck near the embassy and that there was no actual damage to the embassy itself. Witnesses say the airstrike hit a home across the street from the Iranian embassy in Sana, and that some shrapnel may have injured embassy guards.

“This deliberate attempt by the Saudi government is in violation of all the conventions and regulation of international law on the protection and the security of diplomatic premises in all situations, and the responsibility for the action, as well as compensation for damage done to the building and injuries to the embassy staff, lies with the government of Saudi Arabia,” a spokesman for the Iranian foreign minister said in a statement.
