The Supreme Council of Non-Governmental Organizations condemned the massacre committed by the US-Saudi aggression on al-Barah Souk in Makbanah district in Taiz province.
The statement, obtained by the official news agency Saba on Friday, read "The US-Saudi massacre is a war crime” against Yemeni civilians.
The air strikes occurred early on Friday, leaving five martyrs and 10 injured.
The council called on the United Nations to form an independent investigation committee to investigate into the war crime against the civilians in the souk.
Friday’s attack is the latest in a series of war crimes committed by the US-Saudi aggression warplanes against the Yemeni people.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 11,403 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
