131 civilians killed in alleged Saudi airstrike on Yemen wedding
The bombing of a wedding party in Yemen by an apparent Saudi Arabia airstrike has killed over 130 people, medics said on Tuesday. Riyadh, who has air supremacy in the area, denied responsibility for the tragedy.
Two missiles tore through two tents in the Al-Wahijah village in southwestern Yemen, where a wedding celebration was underway. The initial count on Monday said dozens were killed.
Witnesses spoke of having seen mutilated bodies sprawled on the ground after the attack. Many of the dead appear to have been women and children.
A senior official in the Yemeni government told AP that attack was conducted by a Saudi-led coalition which struck the wedding by “mistake.”
