Strike On Bus Kills 29 Children In Yemen
At least 29 children have been killed in a Saudi-led coalition air strike in Yemen.
Dozens of children have been killed and wounded in an air attack that hit a school bus in rebel-controlled northern Yemen. Sources there say the vehicle was targeted in air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition, which backs Yemen's government in its war with the Houthi rebels.
