People have taken to streets of a Yemeni northwestern city to protest against interference by the United States and Israel.

On Friday, the protesters staged a demonstration in the city of Sa'ada chanting slogans and holding placards against the interference.

They also slammed Washington for launching assassination drone strikes in the country.

The protest followed a drone attack against a wedding convoy on December 12, which left 17 people dead near Rada in the southwestern province of al-Bayda.

Washington has stepped up its assassination drone operations in Yemen over the past few years.

The US claims the targets of the drone attacks are al-Qaeda militants, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of the attacks over the past few years.
