Alwaght- At least 20 Yemeni civilians have been killed and forty more injured after Saudi fighter jets targeted a wedding ceremony in the impoverished country's Hajja province, Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah TV network reported on Sunday.
The Saudi jets also carried out raids on ambulances trying to transport the wounded from the attack to local hospitals.
According to al-Masirah, death toll from the bloody airstrike could rise as rescue operation is still underway in Bani Qays district's Naiyah village.
The Saudi aggression was launched in March 2015 in support of Yemen’s resigned Riyadh-friendly government of Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and against the country’s Ansarullah movement, which has been running state affairs in the absence of an effective administration.
The offensive has, however, achieved neither of its goals despite the spending of billions of petrodollars and the enlisting of Saudi Arabia's regional and Western allies.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the Saudi-led war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured since March 2015.
