"This is the second major incident of this kind in just over two weeks," the statement added, stressing that attacks on civilian areas like markets are a flagrant violation of international law.
At least 107 people, including women and children, lost their lives and dozens more sustained injuries on Tuesday, when Saudi military aircraft bombarded the al-Khamis market, approximately 130 kilometers northwest of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
Meanwhile, medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders announced in a statement that its physicians had treated more than 40 people injured in the market bombing, including two people who succumbed to their injuries on the way to hospital.
On Wednesday, Saudi warplanes struck Harib Bihan in Yemen’s west-central province of Marib, destroying the main water reservoir in the town.
Saudi fighter jets also carried out separate airborne attacks against the Sirwah district in the same province as well as Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Mocha, situated about 346 kilometers south of Sanaa.
Relatively, an unmanned Saudi aerial vehicle also fired several missiles into the strategic Dhubab district in the southwestern Yemeni province of Taiz.
At least 8,400 people, among them 2,236 children, were martyred and 16,015 others injured, since March 2015. The strikes also took a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
