Arab coalition to probe Sanaa attack

Riyadh — The Arab Coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen announced on Sunday that it will investigate with Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT) in Yemen the bombing of the Great Hall in Sanaa. “The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with... experts from the United States who have experience in such investigations,” it said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. “The coalition is also willing to provide the investigation team with any data and information related to its military operations today, at the incident's location and the surrounding areas,” it said. “The result of the investigation should be announced as soon as it's completed.” The Coalition expressed its deepest condolences and support to the families of the victims of hostilities. The Coalition confirmed that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians. The Coalition said it goes to great lengths to ensure its raids are precisely targeted, with explosive loads calibrated to limit the risk of causing damage beyond the immediate target area. It said the Houthis place military targets in civilian areas.
