6 Sept 2015: Jets belonging to a Saudi-led coalition killed at least 20 people at a wake in northern Yemen, local tribesmen said, as warplanes pounded Ansar Allah and other forces behind a missile strike that had killed dozens of Gulf Arab soldiers.
The air strikes targeted troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, an ally of the Houthis, across the country and hit a Houthi base in what had been the al-Imam University, a religious school in northern Sanaa, locals said.
But residents said the deadliest strike was in al-Jouf province north of Sanaa, where warplanes hit a wake for a local who had been killed by Houthi gunfire, in what was apparently an accidental strike by the coalition.
A spokesman for the coalition could not immediately be reached for a comment.
In Sanaa, residents said buildings had been leveled as explosions rang through the night and morning before stopping around noon. There were unconfirmed reports of two deaths – Reuters report.
