SANAA: Yemen’s Shia Houthi rebels on Sunday demanded an international probe into an air strike that killed more than 140 people at a funeral, after a Saudi-led Arab coalition admitted “wrongly” hitting it. The October 8 raid was one of the deadliest since the pro-government coalition launched an air campaign against the rebels and their allies in March 2015. Earlier on Saturday, a US Navy destroyer was again targeted in the Red Sea in an apparent failed missile attack launched from the coast of Yemen. The missile attack, if confirmed, would mark the third time the USS Mason was fired upon in international waters in the past week from territory in Yemen.
