The protester raised banner and pictures denouncing the crimes and violations committed against people by the Saudi-led coalition.
Wednesday’s air strikes, which hit a popular market in Bait al-Faqih district, killed at least 21 and wounded 10 others.
Participants also stressed on the importance of supporting the army along the frontlines, urging all Yemenis to take their national responsibility in confronting the coalition and its plots as well as mobilizing to the fronts to defend the homeland and its sovereignty.
