Saudi bombing of Yemen market kills at least 24 civilians
‘Saudi warplanes have bombed a bustling marketplace in Yemen’s extreme northwest, killing at least 24 people, the al-Masirah television reports.
The aircraft hit the al-Moshnaq market in Sa’ada Province’s Shada’a District Saturday night as people gathered to buy staples for Eid al-Fitr, a festivity which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

The report said some of the fatalities have already been identified as relief workers, who died trying to reach the marketplace amid continued bombing.’
