Saudi-led coalition admits deadly Yemen strike on bus was unjustified

A coalition statement carried by Saudi state news agency SPA
said there were no casualties. The Iran-aligned Houthis, who control Yemen's capital Sanaa, have fired dozens of missiles into the kingdom in recent months, part of a three-year-old conflict widely seen as a proxy battle between regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran. Most of the missiles have been intercepted by the Saudi military.
