RNA - Carrying placards and banners, the protesters on Saturday chanted slogans against Saudi Arabia and its allies.

On Thursday, the coalition warplanes attacked a school bus in a market in the town of Dahyan in Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada. At least 50 civilians, mainly school kids, were killed and nearly 80 others were injured.

A few hours after the deadly strike, UN Secretary General António Guterres denounced the act of aggression and called for an independent investigation into the incident.

According to Yemen's al-Masirah television network, the bus was transporting a group of young schoolchildren attending summer classes of the Holy Qur'an.
