The Yemeni army on Monday night vowed to retaliate against a deadly airstrike launched by the Saudi-led coalition on a popular market.
Residents and medical sources in the Yemeni northern province of Saada said earlier that a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a market in Katabir district on Monday evening, killing at least 14 and injuring more than 20 others including children.
"We will not stand idly by toward the aggressor's crimes against the Yemeni people," military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a statement carried by the official Saba news agency.
The airstrike came just a few hours after the Yemeni Houthi revolutionaries backing the armed forces claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile in the southwestern Saudi city of Asir.
The Houthis have recently stepped up missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has been leading an Arab military coalition the Houthis in Yemen for more than four years in support of the resigned regime of former Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
