Yemen: U.S.-Backed Coalition Bombs Market, Killing 40
-----------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels
has struck a bustling market northeast of the capital Sana'a, killing 40
people. About 30 more people were injured. Residents said most of the
casualties were civilians. The United Nations says about 6,000 people
have been killed since the U.S.-backed coalition began bombing the
rebels in March, about half of them civilians.
