DUBAI: The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen promised on Thursday to investigate a military operation this week that the United Nations said killed at least 17 civilians in the latest of three attacks this month on a market.
A Nov 20 attack there killed or injured 28, and another on Nov 27 killed or injured 32, according to the United Nations. Houthi-controlled al-Masirah TV said Tuesday's incident was a result of artillery shelling from across the Saudi border.Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki, in a statement carried by Saudi state news agency SPA, said an initial review of the operation in Saada indicated possible"incidental losses and collateral damage".
Last year, the Saudi-led coalition accepted that an air attack killing dozens, including children on a bus, was wrong and pledged to hold accountable those responsible.
