Market attack in Yemen kills more than 10

An air attack on a market in northern Yemen has reportedly killed more than 10 civilians.

Media operated by Iran-backed Houthi Yemeni anti-government forces said on Monday that 14 people were killed and 25 others were injured in an airstrike against a local market in the northern province of Saada.

The Houthis blame Saudi Arabia for the attack. The Saudis have been intervening in Yemen's four year-old civil war in support of the nation's government.

But the Yemeni government is blaming the Houthi rebels.

The Houthis have been intensifying cross-border drone attacks against targets in Saudi Arabia, while the Saudi-led coalition continues airstrikes in Yemen.
