Sanaa, January 21
A Saudi-led airstrike targeting a prison run by Yemen’s Houthi rebels killed at least 70 detainees and wounded several others on Friday, a rebel minister said.
The intense campaign comes after the Iran-backed Houthis claimed a drone and missile attack that struck inside the capital of the United Arab Emirates earlier in the week. It marked a major escalation in the conflict, a brutal civil war in Yemen where the Saudi-led coalition, which is backed by the UAE, has battled the rebels since 2015.
Doctors Without Borders in a separate statement put the number of wounded alone at “around 200” persons.— AP
