Thirty Yemen civilians were killed during a set of airstrikes by a Saudi Arabian coalition, according to the Washington Post. 

On Saturday, February 15, the attacks occurred in the Yemen province of Al-Jawf.  The airstrikes were a retaliation for a coalition warplane that was reportedly shot down by Yemen rebel forces.

Twelve other civilians were injured along with the 30 civilians who were killed. These attacks are just the latest sign of the war in Yemen intensifying.
