Scores killed in Yemen prison air strike carnage - BBC News

At least 100 people have been killed or wounded in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition which hit a detention centre in Yemen.



The incident happened when a facility was struck in Saada, a stronghold of the rebel Houthi movement, on Friday.

It followed nights of intensified bombing raids in the wake of a deadly Houthi attack on the UAE, a Saudi ally.

Saudi Arabia has led a coalition of Arab states in a war against the rebels since 2015 which has devastated Yemen.

Tens of thousands of civilians, including more than 10,000 children, have been killed or wounded as a direct result of the fighting.

Millions have been displaced and much of the population stands on the brink of famine.
