People Died In Yemen Wedding

The death toll from an alleged air strike on a Yemeni wedding soared today to 131, including women and children, as the Saudi-led coalition denied it was behind the incident.

A local official and residents said at least 27 people, mostly women or children, were killed on Monday in an air strike on a wedding party in southwest Yemen, but a Saudi-led coalition that has air supremacy over the country strongly denied any role.

At least 27 people died and more than 41 were missing after a wedding party was swept away while driving across a valley flooded by monsoon rains in southern Yemen, local officials said on Saturday.
