More than 50 people were killed or wounded in Saudi-led coalition airstrikes that targeted a popular market in Yemen’s Taiz on Tuesday.
According to the Arabic Al-Masirah TV, coalition warplanes launched several airstrikes at the market place located in the Haima area in Taiziya district.
A correspondent for Al-Masirah reported that the bodies of the victims were scattered about 300 meters from the site of the raids, adding that many of the victims' relatives were unable to identify them because the bodies were charred.
Rescue teams at the site were still searching for the rest of the remains.
Tuesday’s massacre comes following another attack by the Saudi-led on Monday that killed and wounded at least 90 people in Sana’a and Hodeida.
Saudi Arabia has been leading a destructive military campaign against Yemen since March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Houthi movement.
The campaign has seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. In its tallies released in February, Yemen’s Legal Center for Rights and Development said the Saudi war had killed over 12,000 civilians, including 2,568 kids.
