UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls for an independent and prompt investigation into the deadly Saudi-led coalition airstrike that hit a school bus in Yemen .
Saudi-led coalition jets had struck a school bus at a busy market in Yemen's Saada province on Thursday . According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), citing local officials, a total of 50 people died in the attack, while another 77 were injured.
This is not the first time that Saudi warplanes target children, last month in Saudi attacks on a school in Al-Hudaidah province in western Yemen three Yemeni civilians were killed.
After receiving a green light from the United States, Saudi Arabia and a number of its Arab allies, such as United Arab Emirates, launched a military aggression against Yemen in March 2015, citing the reinstatement of deposed fugitive Yemeni president, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, as the reason.
Some 14,000 Yemeni civilians including children, women and the elderly have so far lost their lives as a result of the Saudi-led coalition aggression.
