29 kids killed by Saudi airstrike to be buried alongside each other

SANNA:- Mourning Yemenis have been digging graves for the 29 children to be buried side by side after being killed by the airstrike which hit a school bus yesterday.

It comes as the Saudi-led coalition that launched the missile announced it will investigate the deadly strike to help 'clarify their circumstances' following the attack. 

Distressing images show dozens of workers preparing rows of graves that measure just a few feet long.

The United Nations called for prompt investigations into the airstrike that obliterated a bus at the Dahyan market in the Huthi rebels' stronghold province of Saada.

Meanwhile, The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has called for launching a "credible and transparent" investigation into a recent airstrike by the Saudi-led military coalition that killed dozens of schoolchildren in northern Yemen.

"They expressed their grave concern at these, and all other recent attacks in Yemen. They called for a credible and transparent investigation," British UN Ambassador Karen Pierce, council president for August, said after a senior UN official briefed the 15-member council on the brutal strike.

Pierce added that the council "will now consult with the UN and others as to how the investigation can best be taken forward."
