According to locals, a man that was affiliated with the Houthi rebel movement was celebrating his wedding, and he was the target of the airstrike. According to the Associated press, a Yemeni official has said that the strike was a "mistake".
Spokesman Brig-Gen Ahmed al-Asiri told Reuters: "There have been no air operations by the coalition in that area for three days. This is totally false news."
