An airstrike on Saturday hit a funeral hall packed with thousands of mourners in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and local health officials indicate

The Coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen said it is aware of reports about the regrettable and painful bombing of the Great Hall in Sanaa, which led to the killing and injuring of casualties.

In a statement late on Saturday, the coalition expressed its deepest condolences and support to the families of the victims of hostilities since of the coup takeover of power in Yemen during 2014.

The coalition confirms that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians.

The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT) in Yemen and experts from the United States who participated in previous investigations.

The coalition is also willing to provide the investigation team with any data and information related to its military operations, at the incident's location and the surrounding areas.

The result of the investigation should be announced as soon as it is completed.
