Saudi Arabia conducted rocket attacks on a market in Razih district of Sa’ada, using cluster bombs, eight civilians were killed and seven others injured in the assault. Meanwhile, the Saudi warplanes bombed several residential buildings in Majaz district in the same province, with no immediate reports of possible casualties.
