Saudi-led Arab military coalition today admitted responsibility for an air strike carried in the Yemeni capital yesterday that killed 14 civilians. It described it as a technical mistake.
Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki in a statement said that the coalition regrets the collateral damage caused by this involuntary accident and offers its condolences to the families and relatives of the victims. Witnesses and medics said several children were among 14 people killed in yesterday’s air strike that toppled residential blocks in Sanaa.
Yesterday’s raid targeted Faj Attan, a residential neighbourhood in the south of the capital that has been controlled since 2014 by Huthi rebels.
