55 Yemeni civilians were killed and wounded by the Saudi-led warplanes in the capital city of Sana’a on Saturday.
The Saudi airstrike on the market left 25 people dead and 30 others wounded, the Arabic-language al-Ahd news website reported.
The Saudi fighter jets had also targeted several vehicles belonging to civilians in the Northern al-Jawf province three days ago which killed 24 people.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for more than 11 months now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 8,550 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January 2015 and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

The Yemeni army and popular forces continued their advances in Ta’iz, and killed a large number of forces loyal to former fugitive President Mansour Hadi, including his senior commanders, in the Western coastal province on Saturday.
Many other pro-Hadi forces were also killed in tough battle with the Yemeni army and popular forces in Beit Wafi in Habashi heights in Ta’iz province.
Meantime, the Yemeni army and popular forces attacked the pro-Hadi militias’ military positions in al-Ja’adan region in Ma’rib, killing a large number of them.
In a relevant development on Wednesday, the Yemeni forces killed at least 54 Saudi troops, including commanders, in a ballistic missile attack in the Northern Jawf province.
The Yemeni Army, backed by Popular Committees loyal to the Ansarullah movement, targeted a Saudi military installation in Beir al-Maraziq region with a Qaher-1 ballistic missile.
A large number of Saudi forces also sustained injuries in the attack.
The Yemeni surface-to-surface missile also destroyed a number of military equipment of the installation and inflicted heavy damage on its infrastructure.
The Yemeni forces have fired tens of missiles on the military positions and gathering centers of Saudi-led coalition so far, killing hundreds of Saudi forces and injuring many more.
Yemenis carry out these attacks in retaliation for the US-backed Saudi strikes on civilian targets, launched with the aim of undermining Ansarullah movement and bringing back to power the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh and Washington.
Yemen has been under military attacks and siege by Saudi Arabia and its regional allies since late March last year. At least 8,300 people, among them 2,236 children, have been killed so far in the Saudi aggression while over 16,000 others sustained injuries.
The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
