(Reuters) - A Saudi-led coalition carrying out air strikes in Yemen may have committed a war crime when it bombed two residential compounds, killing 65 people including 10 children, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Tuesday.

Last Friday's attack on two compounds at the Mokha steam power plant in western Yemen was one of several air strikes in Yemen's war that appear to have been unlawful but have not been investigated by anyone, the group said in a statement.
