SANAA – Hundreds of civilians were killed and wounded when U.S.-Saudi brutal warplanes hit with a series of strikes a funeral gathering in southern the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Saturday afternoon, a security official told the Yemeni Saba news agency.

It was the latest of a series of air strikes against Yemeni civilians by Saudi-led aggression coalition and their mercenaries backed by the United States, in a clear escalation against peace efforts.

 The official said two air strikes hit the grand hall of ceremonies, where a funeral gathering was held to receive condolences for the late Ali bin Ali al-Ruwaishan, the father of Interior Minister, Jalal al-Ruwaishan, the agency reported.

The latest death toll and injured from the Saudi barbaric air massacre on the funeral hall increased to 450, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Public Health and Population, Abdulsalam al-Madani told Saba.

Al-Madani said this is a primary toll as hospitals were still receiving more and more badly injured.

The brutal airstrikes bombing caused large fire in the hall’s building, which completely destroyed. The civil defense teams have managed to put it off.

Many residential houses around the hall were badly damaged.

The officials and residents strongly condemned the barbaric targeting of civilians and called on the United Nations to bear its responsibility and break its shame silence.

The Saudi regime has been engaged in an aggression against Yemen since March 2015, that killed more than 10,000 people and destroyed the country’s infrastructure.
