TaizA strike on Taiz’s Mawiya market killed 7, wounded 40.
Civilians in Yemen’s third-largest city are caught in a war reignited after a four-year ceasefire collapsed.
Houthi forces seized the Red Sea port of Mokha this month and now press Taiz’s western approaches, drawing renewed Saudi Arabia air strikes.
Yemen’s government says its forces targeted a Houthi military camp at the same junction, not shops.
The Houthi spokesman has vowed “severe consequences” for what he calls a Saudi attack on civilians.
