(Reuters) - At least 27 people, most of them women and children, were killed on Monday in an air strike on a wedding party in southwestern Yemen, a local official and residents said.
A local resident said 12 women, eight children and seven men died in the air strike, which struck two tents in the village of al-Wahijah, near the Red Sea port city of Al-Mokha, where a wedding for a local man affiliated with Yemen's dominant Houthi group. A local official put the death toll at 30.
Residents described mutilated bodies from the attack. A number of other casualties were rushed to a nearby hospital, they said.
A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition could not immediately be reached for a comment.
