An air strike launched by Saudi-led coalition has killed at least 38 people at a wedding party in south-western Yemen. Medics said women and children were among those who died in Wahijah، a village near the Red Sea port of Mocha.
The Saudi-led coalition، which began an air campaign in March to defeat the Houthi rebel movement، denied it was responsible for the attack. However، witnesses said warplanes targeted the celebration and Yemeni officials acknowledged a “mistake”.
The UN says almost 4،900 people have been killed in the past six month، including 2،200 civilians.
