Bahrain Mirror: Saudi Arabia acknowledged its responsibility for the Sanaa massacre that claimed the lives and injured hundreds of Yemenis, according to Reuters. 

According to an investigative body set up by the Saudi-led coalition, "The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen attacked a funeral there after receiving incorrect information from Yemeni military figures that armed Houthi leaders were in the area."

The Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT) said in the statement that the coalition's Air Operations Centre in Yemen also failed to obtain approval for the strike from commanders, a violation of protocol.

Moreover, the JIAT called for a review of the rules of engagement and for compensation for the families of the victims. In addition, the team called for taking "appropriate action" against those who caused the incident.
