Saudi-led coalition launched on Thursday an investigation into airstrike claims in Yemen that killed civilians, Saudi Press Agency reported.

In a statement, the coalition highlighted that investigation will be into claims by Houthi rebels that Yemeni civilians were killed in an air raid overnight near the capital Sanaa.

It stated that Yemeni armed forces and rebels have clashed in this area in recent days, and findings will be released after the end of the investigation.

The coalition declared last year responsibility of deadly hotel bombing in Yemen, citing miscommunication as the reason.

It promised revision of airstrike procedures and compensation of victims.

The coalition has been engaged in a war against Houthis in Yemen since 2015.
