2013 Radda airstrike

On December 12, 2013, a U.S. drone strike hit a wedding procession in the Radda District, Yemen, killing 12 to 17 people.

According to locals, the wedding procession involved people following the groom as he traveled to the bride's residence. Out of the 11 vehicles present, 4 were targeted. All of those killed were men. Yemeni officials claimed they were mistaken for members of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Further investigation revealed that four missiles were fired in total.

On January 7, 2014, the Obama administration announced they were doing an investigation into the event, although no further update on its progress or conclusion was ever made.

On August 18, 2014, it was reported that the Yemeni government would pay YRIs 1 million to the victims' families.
