SANAA (Reuters) - Three brothers were among at least 13 people killed in a rocket attack that hit their wedding party in a village in southwestern Yemen on Thursday that residents said was most likely to have been carried out by Saudi-led coalition jets.

If confirmed, this would be third attack in recent weeks that has killed civilians and drawn international rebuke for the Arab alliance fighting Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. More than one hundred people were killed at a wedding party on Sept. 28.
