Saturday, 02 January 2021_At last five civilians have been killed when Saudi-backed militiamen loyal to Yemen's former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi launched artillery rounds at a wedding ceremony in the strategic port city of Hudaydah.
Acting Provincial Governor, Muhammad Ayyash Qahim, told Yemen’s official Saba news agency that the attack in al-Hawk district of the city took place on Friday evening.
He said five people were killed and as many injured in the incident, noting that the victims were waiting for their families to leave when they were hit.
Qahim condemned the “horrific act” committed by Saudi mercenaries and Saudi-led military forces, stressing that targeting a civilian structure is “a war crime and inconsistent with all international and humanitarian principles, and a flagrant violation of the provisions of the Stockholm agreement.”
