At least 13 people were killed and 38 others wounded in the bombing of a wedding in a rebel-held Yemeni town, a medical source said on Thursday.
The bombing targeted a house hosting a wedding celebration in Sanban, in Dhamar province, some 100 kilometres south of Sanaa, medics and witnesses said.
"The hospital of Dhamar has received 13 bodies and 38 wounded people following the bombing of a house where dozens were celebrating a wedding," the medical source told AFP, on condition of anonymity.
The nine-member, Saudi-led coalition intervened in support of Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi after Houthi rebels overran the capital Sanaa last year.
The United Nations says around 5,000 people have been killed and 25,000 wounded, many of them civilians, in Yemen over the past seven months.
Hadi fled to Riyadh in March then returned to Aden in September after loyalists backed by coalition forces retook the port city and four other southern provinces.
