(UN Headquarters)
New York, (IINA) - Saudi Arabia's Permanent Mission to the UN pointed out on Thursday that the aircraft of Arab Coalition Forces did not pound the hospital run by both the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and UN organizations in Yemen. The Mission also said that the Arab coalition aircraft had not carried out any operations over Saada province in Yemen at the time of the incident, SPA reported.
It clarified that the coalition forces carried out operations near the border, which is 40 km north of the hospital's headquarters. It was also pointed out that the cause of the explosion that occurred inside the hospital could not be known without conducting investigations on this matter.
It is noteworthy that the Mission issued a statement on Wednesday which said that MSF organization has provided the coalition forces details of the hospital and therefore it has been placed within the forbidden targets. Hence, the coalition forces cannot target hospital.
The Mission also regretted a statement attributed to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the alleged bombing of the hospital by the coalition forces,before receiving report of a full investigation into the circumstances of the explosion at the hospital. It is to be noted that there would be a full investigation of the circumstances of this incident and that the results will be announced as soon as possible.
