At least eight women and a child were killed in an overnight air raid on a funeral reception near the Yemeni capital Sanaa, medics said.
At least 10 more women were reported wounded in the raid on Thursday, which hit the women’s reception area at a funeral in Arhab district, 40km north of Sanaa.
Medics dispatched to the incident identified the bombing site as the residence of Mohammed Al Nakii in the village of Shiraa. Houthi rebels, who control the capital, accused a Saudi-backed coalition of carrying out the attack.
Residents said the raid took place when mourners had gathered to offer condolences after a woman died.
