At least 40 civilians have been killed as Saudi warplanes bombed Yemen’s Ta’iz Province in violation of a UN-brokered ceasefire.

Saudi jets targeted a petrol bomb in Hayfan district of the southwestern province of Ta’iz early on Tuesday, leaving at least 40 civilians dead and 15 others injured, Yemen’s al-Masirah television reported.

Some Yemeni media outlets have put the number of those killed at 35.

The news comes hours after four terrorist bomb attacks hit military and security positions in Mukalla city of Hadhramaut Province, leaving 48 civilians dead and some 30 others injured.

Meanwhile, a Saudi air strike mistakenly hit a military convoy of pro-Riyadh militants in the strategic mountain of Hailan in Ma’rib Province on Monday night.

Five militants, including a commander, were killed and six others wounded in the air raid.
