The conflict between Saudi Arabia and Houthi rebels in Yemen is steadily increasing. After his plane crashed, the Saudis attacked the site of Yemeni Houthi rebels, killing 32 people and injuring 12.

Al-Masira News Channel, led by Yemeni rebel group, reports that at least 32 people have been killed in airstrikes by Saudi-led forces. The Saudi-led army launched an airstrike in Yemen's northern al-Jawf province. It was learned that those killed in the attack had assembled there to watch the tragic fighter plane tornado.

The tornado was a Saudi coalition combat aircraft that was fired by the Houthi rebels on Friday. However, it is not yet clear whether the fighter jet crashed or was attacked. According to reports, the rebels had made several air strikes where the plane crashed.

The UN human rights president described the attack by the Saudi-backed army as a surprise. The human rights group, Save the Children, also criticized the attack and expressed concern that the conflict in Yemen was not diminishing.
