In Yemen, the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels has struck a bustling market northeast of the capital Sana’a, killing 40 people. About 30 more people were injured. Residents said most of the casualties were civilians. The United Nations says about 6,000 people have been killed since the U.S.-backed coalition began bombing the rebels in March, about half of them civilians.
