24 killed in airstrikes on Yemen market, official says
At least 24 Yemeni civilians are killed in an air raid on a market near the border with Saudi Arabia, a medical official says.
Most of the casualties worked in the Mashnaq market, which sells the mild narcotic qat, in the rebel-controlled northern Saada province, the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
A Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes in Yemen for more than two years against Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebels.
