At least 20 fishermen were killed and tens of others injured after they had been attacked by the Saudi-led coalition off Yemen's western coast, local officials said on Thursday.
Apache helicopters of the coalition targeted the boats of the fishermen near this islands of Honaish and Zoqar on the Red Sea committing a second massacre in days, they said.
The death toll is expected to rise as the rescue teams have been unable reach the tragedy site, they added.
Days ago, 11 fishermen were killed in attacks by the coalition, weeks after around 100 fishermen were killed off Hodeida.
In late March, the coalition launched a bombing campaign against the Houthi militants who ousted the government of Yemen.
Today, it carried out fresh airstrikes in the provinces of Saada, Hajjah, Jawf and others.
The raids coincided with continuing battles between the pro-government forces and the Houthi militants in the provinces of Taiz, Dhali and Jawf.
In Dhali, five civilians were killed and injured in mortar attacks by the pro-government fighters in the district of Damt, the Saba news agency reported.
In Taiz, locals said 10 civilians were killed and 7 others injured in mortar attacks on their residences by the Houthi militants.
The government forces backed by the popular resistance and the coalition launched an offensive to drive the militants of Taiz three days ago.
On Thursday, more fighters from both sides, around 14, were killed and injured in raging battles in key parts in downtown and on outskirts, the sources said.
