I wish to thank whoever it was that removed the flagicons, and strongly urge that they never disgrace this or any other article again. Abductive ( reasoning) 02:03, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
I think that flagicons should be used; I've never seen a similar article that didn't use them. Brendon the Wizard ✉️ ✨ 05:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Words as the primary means of communication should be given greater precedence over flags, and flags should not change the expected style.... Notice the spirit in which WP:MOSFLAG was written. It was written to allow for flags where its important like Summer Olympics but discourage use when counter productive and not useful. --- Coffeeand crumbs 19:45, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
I see no definitive rule that states flags should be removed in this issue. WP:MOSFLAG seem to agree with adding the flag icons. Adding flags icons in this context does not violate any policy as cited above and hence they may be added. No rule particulary disagree with adding them in this context. Wikiemirati ( talk) 02:58, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Al-Jazeera and one similar looking article at ilna.ir talk about how "even first responders were killed".
The problem I have is that articles and commentary seem to refer to Saudi Arabia dropping a bomb. [1] I didn't see any indication that the Saudi Arabians double-tapped the school bus, which would have been even more horrendous. Does this mean that first responders were already on board the bus for some other reason? Or were there unrelated casualties on the ground near the bus? There's something that doesn't add up. (note: I'm not recommending any specific edit, unless more information can be obtained. Sometimes historical events never add up, and the student just has to live with that.)

The lede of this article says "As many as 51 people may have been killed in the attack", while the infobox says under Deaths, "At least 51 people". One presents an upper bound of 51, while the other presents a lower bound of 51. -- Joshualouie711 talk 18:51, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
The article says:
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has told the BBC that the UK's relationship with Saudi Arabia stops bombs going off on the streets of Britain. Mr Hunt also said he was "deeply shocked" that at least 33 children were killed in rebel-held northern Yemen when an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition hit their school bus.
How is this a summary:
UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt defended the Saudi–British alliance and described Saudi Arabia as a "very, very important military ally"
