SANAA: Airstrikes hit a wedding celebration in Yemen, killing over 30 people and leaving dozens more unaccounted for, local officials said on Thursday.
The attack happened in Sanban, about 100km (60 miles) south-east of the capital, Sanaa, witnesses said.
Local hospitals have been overwhelmed with victims, the officials said.
It was not clear who was behind the attack but a Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out air raids against Houthi rebels.
Coalition forces said they have no ongoing operations in the southwestern province in Yemen where the incident occurred.
“Not every explosion that takes place in Yemen is as airstrike – it could be a missile, car bomb, or weapons cache,” coalition spokesman Ahmed Asseri said.
Last month an air strike on a wedding party near the Red Sea port of Mocha killed at least 130 people.
