An Omani aircraft landed in the Yemeni capital on Saturday to evacuate 115 of the most seriously wounded from a Saudi-led coalition strike on a funeral last weekend, a Yemeni source said.

The strike killed more than 140 people and wounded at least 525, sparking an international outcry that obliged the coalition to announce an easing of an air blockade to allow the most seriously wounded to receive treatment abroad.

Oman is the only Gulf Arab state that is not part of the coalition striking Yemen since March, 2015.
