Saudi aristrikes kills 11 in Yemen's Jawf Province

Nearly a dozen people have been killed in a series of airstrikes carried out by Saudi warplanes in Yemen’s Jawf Province, local media say.

The Yemeni al-Masirah television said on Monday that at least seven civilians lost their lives after Saudi fighter jets bombed Dahouk Academy in al-Matun district of the troubled northern province.

Separately, an airstrike against two trucks carrying food in the same volatile district killed at least four people.

Saudi warplanes also pounded a crowded marketplace in al-Masloub district of Jawf Province. But there was no immediate report on casualties.

Saudi Arabia continues to bomb Yemen causing more death and destruction to its impoverished neighboring Arab state. A number of civilians are also feared killed as Saudi jets have bombed several civilian targets in Zimar, Ibb, Ma'rib and Sana’a provinces over the past few hours.

On Tuesday, Saudi warplanes bombed a crowded market in the Yemeni province of Hajjah. The bombing killed 119 people, including 22 children, drawing international condemnation.
