Adding to the enormous death toll of the Saudi war against Yemen, Saudi warplanes today attacked a wedding party near the port city of Mocha, killing the groom and a huge number of civilians, with at least 131 confirmed dead in the latest reports from medical officials.

The attack does not appear to have been "accidental," like so many other Saudi airstrikes, but rather targeted a Shi'ite wedding because the groom was seen as being "affiliated" with the Houthis. Actually what this affiliation was is unclear.

The timing couldn't have been worse for the Saudi government, as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was to address the UN General Assembly just hours later, and slammed the Saudi war against Yemen, demanding an immediate end to the airstrikes.
