The answer

If a Muslim is killed by mistake in battle by a mujahid, then his blood money is to be paid by the Muslim treasury (Bayt al-Mal), as in the story of Al-Yaman. And expiation (freeing a slave or fasting two consecutive months) is obligatory upon the one who launched the missile, because he is the direct perpetrator. Indemnity falls upon the direct perpetrator when a cause and a direct act combine.
