As many as 29 civilians have been killed and several others injured as Saudi warplanes dropped bombs on Yemen’s extreme northwest.

One of the strikes hit a marketplace in Sahaar District of the province of Saada in the early hours of Wednesday, killing 27 people and injuring nine others, the al-Masirah television network reported.

The death toll is expected to rise as a search operation is still underway at the site of the attack.

A vehicle was also targeted by Saudi fighter jets in the province’s al-Dhaher District, killing two more civilians.

Over the weekend, 10 Yemeni civilians lost their lives in Saada and the province of Taiz during similar air raids.

Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and martyred in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
