Saudi airstrikes on Taiz in southwest Yemen caused dozens of casualties in an area controlled by the Houthis, the group said, as fighting escalated further after a truce broke down months ago, AFP reports.

The Houthis’ military spokesman, Yahya Saree, accused Saudi Arabia of launching two air raids that hit a market on the outskirts of the city, saying nearly 50 people were killed or wounded without specifying the exact breakdown.

The spokesman said blood was “unjustly and aggressively spilled” in a statement posted online, vowing there would be consequences for the attack.

Earlier, the group’s Al-Masirah TV channel said a strike killed seven people and wounded 40 more at a market in Taiz, minutes after reporting that a Saudi fighter jet had targeted the area.

In a subsequent statement, the channel, citing the Houthis’ health ministry, said that five children were among those wounded.
