130 killed, 40 injured in Saudi strike in Yemen

SANAA, Yemen: The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen staged multiple airstrikes on a detention center operated by the Houthi rebels in the southwestern province of Dhamar, killing over 100 people and wounding dozens more Sunday, officials and the rebels’ Health Ministry said.

Franz Rauchenstein, the head of the Red Cross delegation in Yemen, suggested that the death toll could be higher after visiting the site of the attack, saying relatively few detainees survived. A Red Cross statement said the detention center held around 170 detainees.
