"It is true that the circulated video shows only the courtyard. However, the damage extended to the museum's main hall, where a number of artefacts and photographs are on display, as well as to the museum's doors, windows, and storage rooms," Amida Sholan, an archaeologist and professor at Sanaa University, tells The Art Newspaper. Sholan, who was outside Yemen when the attack occurred, says she has not yet been able to confirm with colleagues whether any artefacts were damaged.
The US President has issued a stark warning to Iran, stating that additional planned attacks will be even more brutal if a deal is not reached.
