Saudi warplanes have pounded a crowded marketplace in the town of Mostaba in Yemen�s Hajjah Province, leaving about 107 people dead.

Yemen's al-Masirah TV reported on Tuesday that a busy restaurant adjacent to the al-Khamis market was also targeted in the airstrikes.

Vendors from other places had gathered in the market to seek cover from the Saudi strikes.

At least 41�people were killed in the Saudi airstrike on the market.

Yemeni sources say Saudi jets also bombed several civilian targets in Ta�izz, Jawf and Sana�a provinces, but there was no immediate report on casualties.

In response to the Saudi aggression, Yemeni forces backed by allied Popular Committees loyal to the Houthi Ansarullah movement, killed a number of Saudi mercenaries in the city of al-Ghayl in Jawf province.

In addition, a Saudi mercenaries� commander was killed in Ta�izz province.

Saudi Arabia started its aggression in Yemen March last year to supposedly bring former president and Riyadh�s ally, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power.

At least 8,400 people, among them 2,236 children, have reportedly been killed and 16,015 others injured, since then.

Saudi airstrikes have also taken a heavy toll on the already impoverished country�s infrastructure, destroying many reservoirs, hospitals, schools, and factories.
