Locals said the Saudi fighter jets hit a public bus on a highway in north of Aden, killing all its passengers. A civilian car and a farming pick-up also came under similar attacks near Aden, the sources said.
Earlier in the day, Saudi warplanes dropped bombs on several areas, including a school and a water reservoir, across the northern province of Sa’ada, killing at least 10 civilians, including seven women, Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported.
Meanwhile, two people lost their lives in another Saudi air raid on the northern province of al-Jawf.

The popular committees, including Ansarullah fighters, also fired artillery shells at military bases in Saudi Arabia’s south-western province of Dhahran al-Janub. Two Saudi soldiers have reportedly been killed in the artillery attacks.
