Story highlights Saudi-led coalition's airstrike killed at least 155 people at a wake in YemenCoalition's admission comes after US condemnation of attack(CNN) The Saudi-led coalition involved in Yemen's civil war said Saturday it was responsible for an airstrike that killed at least 155 people at a wake in Yemen a week ago. An investigation found that "incorrect information" had passed between the air operations center in Yemen and coalition command, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency. "Because of non-compliance with Coalition rules of engagement (ROEs) and procedures, and the issuing of incorrect information a Coalition aircraft wrongly targeted the location, resulting in civilian deaths and injuries," said a statement published by the news agency. The coalition said it will follow the recommendations of investigators, including a review of the rules of engagement and compensation for the families of the victims.
