Two children were killed and eight critically wounded when an unexploded bomb went off at a school in Sanaa, AFP reported Friday (April 5th).
A child had found the bomb and brought it to Al-Fatah school in the Hamdan district of Sanaa on Wednesday to show friends, UNICEF said in a statement.
The casualties were aged between 12 and 14.
Children often fall victim to unexploded ordnance, failing to fully appreciate the dangers.
"It is highly likely, as we have seen in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, that children will continue to be killed even when there is a lull in violence or the violence comes to an end," said UNICEF's regional chief of communications, Juliette Touma.
