At least 50 people killed and dozens injured in a Saudi-led coalition air strike on a prison in southwestern Yemen, Houthi rebels say
Saudi-led coalition says attack targeted a site used to store drones and missiles in city of Dhamar.
Franz Rauchenstein, head of the ICRC delegation in Yemen, said Sunday that he is heading to Dhamar "to assess the situation." The Houthi health ministry spokesman, in comments carried on the group's Al Masirah TV, said 60 bodies had been pulled from the rubble at the prison and that the number could rise. "The explosions were strong and shook the city," one resident said. "Afterwards ambulance sirens could be heard until dawn."
At the time, the Saudi-backed Yemeni government accused Houthi rebels of using prisoners as human shields.
