Rebels in control of Yemen's capital accused the Saudi-led coalition fighting them of killing or wounding dozens of people in air strikes on Sanaa today.

The insurgent-controlled news site sabanews.net said that coalition planes hit a building in the capital where people had gathered to mourn the death of the father of a prominent rebel figure.

"Dozens of citizens fell as martyrs or were wounded in this attack by planes of the Saudi-American aggression," the site said, referring to Saudi-led jets.

There was no immediate information on the exact number of people killed.

The rebels said people had gathered at the site of the raids to pay their respects to the father of the rebel interior minister Jalal al-Rowaishan, adding that the minister's fate was unknown.
