The Hindu  

An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition has mistakenly hit a camp of allied Yemeni pro-government forces, killing at least 12 troops, Yemeni military officials said Friday. The strike, which took place on Thursday in the province of Shabwa, also wounded at least eight Yemeni troops, the officials said. There was no immediate comment from the Saudi-led coalition, an ally of the forces of Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Friendly fire incidents where Saudi-led coalition airstrikes have hit allied ground forces have happened on occasion during Yemen's conflict.
