Five women killed in Yemen wedding attack
Five women were killed when a projectile exploded at a New Year's Day wedding party in Yemen's Red Sea city of Hodeida, the latest atrocity in the war-torn nation.
The government and Huthi rebels blamed each other for the Friday night attack near Hodeida's airport. Local officials said five women were killed, and children were among seven others wounded, when what appeared to be an artillery shell hit the wedding venue.
Tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have been killed and millions displaced in Yemen's grinding six-year war, which has triggered what the United Nations calls the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
