A bomb blast killed five civilians and injured seven others in Yemen’s western Hodeida province, a medical source said.
An improvised explosive device planted on a passenger bus exploded as it was on its way from the province’s al-Khawkhah district to al-Mokha district in Taiz, Mohammad Shazly told Anadolu Agency Sunday.
Shazly said among the dead were a child and a woman, adding that death toll is feared to rise as some of the injured were in critical condition.
Yemen has been dogged by violence and chaos since 2014.
Since 2015, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies have waged a devastating military campaign aimed at reversing the Houthis’ territorial gains and shoring up Yemen’s pro-Saudi regime.
The campaign has seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. Local Yemeni sources have put the death toll from the Saudi war at over 12,000, including many women and children.
