At least 29 children 'returning from picnic' among the dead after Saudi-led coalition air strike hits bus:
Coalition airstrikes led by Saudi Arabia hit a bus carrying children in rebel-held northern Yemen on Thursday, killing and wounding dozens.
The bus had been travelling through a busy market in Dahyan district, northern Saada, at the time of the raid. The Houthi rebels' health ministry said 43 people died, including 29 children.
According to Save the Children, they were heading back from a picnic when the driver stopped to get a drink.
"Scores killed, even more injured, most under the age of 10," Johannes Bruwer, head of delegation for the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) in Yemen, stated in a Twitter post.
The Houthi rebels control much of northern Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa.The Dahyan district hit on Thursday lies close to the Saudi border.
In recent months, rebels have fired missiles into the neighbouring kingdom, including on Wednesday in an attack that killed one person. Col Turki al-Malki, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, said the attack in Saada targeted the rebels who had fired it.

Blast in northern Syria kills at least 36; cause unclear
BEIRUT -- An explosion in northern Syria killed at least 36 people Sunday and wounded many others, but the cause of the blast wasn't immediately known, opposition activists said.
The opposition-run Syrian Civil Defence, first responders also known as the White Helmets, said the blast occurred in the village of Sarmada near the Turkish border, killing 36 people and wounding many others. The explosion collapsed two five-story buildings, burying many of the victims, it said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 39, including 21 women and children.
An opposition media collective known as the Smart news agency, said the dead included civilians as well as members of the al-Qaida-linked Levant Liberation Committee.
The Observatory said an arms depot in the basement of a building had detonated. It said the depot was run by an arms dealer close to the Levant Liberation Committee.
Meanwhile, Syrian government forces fighting rebels in Idlib province have sent more reinforcements ahead of a potential offensive on the last major rebel stronghold in Syria.
The pro-government Al-Watan daily said Sunday that huge military reinforcements have reached the outskirts of Idlib province as a preliminary step to launch a wide-scale offensive.
Quoting military sources, the paper said that troops have reached the northern countryside of the neighbouring Hama province as part of military preparations to recapture Idlib province.
The expected offensive on Idlib comes after government forces captured major rebel strongholds earlier this year near the capital Damascus and in the southern provinces of Daraa and Quneitra.
The paper said that the battle would be "comprehensive" starting from Hama's northern countryside to the southern countryside of Aleppo, adding that the target of the battle is to seize Idlib City.
Government airstrikes on the province on Friday killed dozens.
Pro-government activists said on social media that the elite Tiger Force, led by Brig. Gen. Suheil al-Hassan, arrived in northern Syria to spearhead what they called the "Dawn of Idlib" operation.

120 Afghan forces, civilians killed in battle with Taliban:
Four days of ferocious fighting between Afghan forces and the Taliban over a key provincial capital has claimed the lives of about 100 Afghan policemen and soldiers and at least 20 civilians, the defense minister said Monday.
The staggering numbers provided by Gen. Tareq Shah Bahrami were the first official casualty toll since the Taliban launched a massive assault on Ghazni, the capital of Ghazni province, last Friday.
The multi-pronged assault overwhelmed the city's defenses and allowed insurgents to capture several parts of it. It was a major show of force by the Taliban, who infiltrated deep into this strategic city barely 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the capital, Kabul.
The United States has sent military advisers to aid Afghan forces.
The fall of Ghazni, a city of 270,000 people, would mark an important victory for the Taliban. It would also cut off a key highway linking Kabul to the southern provinces, the Taliban's traditional heartland.
Bahrami, the defense minister, spoke to reporters at a press conference in Kabul on Monday. He said the casualty figures are not yet definite and that the numbers might change. He didn't offer a breakdown of the casualties but Interior Minister Wais Ahmad Barmak said nearly 70 policemen were among those killed.
Bahrami said about 1,000 additional troops have been sent to Ghazni and helped prevent the city from falling into Taliban hands. He also said 194 insurgents, including 12 leaders, were killed — with Pakistani, Chechen and Arabs foreign fighters among the dead.

Afghanistan: Suicide bomber targets school in Kabul
At least 48 killed in a suicide bomb attack outside an educational centre in Kabul's Dasht-e-Barchi area.
Atleast 48 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in front of an education centre in the west of the Afghan capital, Kabul, according to the health ministry.
Wednesday's attack in the Shia neighbourhood of Dasht-e-Barchi left dozens more injured, Waheed Majrooh, a spokesman for Afghanistan's ministry of public health, told Al Jazeera.
The explosion initially set off gunfire from Afghan guards in the area, leading to assumptions that there were more attackers involved, but officials later said all indications were that there was only one bomber.
"We can confirm the attack was caused by a suicide bomber on foot. The bomber detonated himself inside the education centre," said Hashmat Stanikzai, police spokesman.
Zabihullah Mujahid, Taliban spokesman, denied involvement in the attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the violence, which was swiftly condemned by President Ashraf Ghani in a statement.
Jawad Ghawari, a member of the city's Shia clerical council, blamed the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group, which has carried similar attacks in the past, hitting mosques, schools and cultural centres.
