A Saudi-US airstrike on Yemen’s Taiz killed at least 55 people and left tens injured Saturday.

A Saudi-US airstrike on Yemen's Taiz killed at least 70 people and left tens injured Saturday as the warjets committed a brutal massacre against civilians.

The Saba agency quoted a local source in Taiz as saying that the bombing targeted the Mokha area inhabited mostly by engineers and workers of a power station and some displaced and armless families.

The number of casualties is expected to rise as rescue services are still working in the area and several of those injured and transferred to nearby hospitals are in serious condition, the source said.

Earlier on Friday, Al-Qaeda terrorist operatives executed the Salafist Imam of Al-Kola mosque in Ma'rib province, Abu Abdul-Rahman Al-Suleimani.

Saba news agency reported that the murder of Suleimani came after he expressed objection to the Saudi-US aggression on Yemen.

In a separate development, the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees pounded the Saudi Al-Alab military base in Dhahran Asir border area, by firing dozens of projectiles.

Riyadh launched airstrikes against Yemen on March 26 without a UN mandate. Saudi Arabia aims to undermine the Ansarullah popular fighters and restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

The Saudi-US aggression has so far claimed the lives of at least 5,122 people, mostly women and children.
