Fifteen people who had been heading to a wedding in Yemen have been killed in an air strike. Local media reported that a drone attack had been responsible, and the party-goers had been hit instead of an Al-Qaeda convoy.
"An air strike missed its target and hit a wedding car convoy, ten people were killed immediately and another five who were injured died after being admitted to the hospital," a Yemeni security official told Reuters.
Five more people were injured in the attack which took place in the central al-Bayda province on Thursday, the source added.
While officials would not identify the source of the air strike, local and tribal media sources attributed the deaths to a drone attack.
