Colonel pilot Turki bin Saleh al-Maliki, the official spokesman of the coalition forces in Yemen.

:: The Spokesperson of the Coalition to restore Legitimacy in Yemen has said that the forces reviewed and rejects allegations by some media outlets that one of the houses in the area of Mahdah in the south-west of Saada province was targeted, which caused the deaths of women, children, and injuring of other others.

Col. Turki al-Malki confirmed that the joint command has completed after-action review for operations have been conducted last Friday and reviewed all operational tasks that conducted in Saada province, revealing that there is no proof of the false allegation, a statement on Saudi Press Agency (SPA) read.

Al-Malki said the coalition forces followed with regret the statements of the office of the Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, which were based on personal estimates rather than a fair and systematic investigation. The statements were apparently issued upon unconfirmed field reports which could have been more accurate if they had patience, credibility and evidence.

The spokesman explained that the joint forces command of the coalition is investigating through its available means, as well as coordinating with the legitimate government of Yemen, its international partners and friends to exchange information on this unfortunate incident, considering the methodology of the Houthi militia in storing weapons and explosives inside houses and civilian objects.

Col Turki expressed profound regret for the occurrence of civilian casualties among Yemeni people due to hostile acts committed by Houthi militias through futile and deliberate attacks against innocents and by using civilian homes and civilian objects to conceal all forms of weapons, which is a flagrant violation of the international law.
