Yemeni officials say airstrikes by a Saudi-led coalition have hit a university that the Houthi rebels are using as a detention center. At least 60 people have been killed.
SANAA, Yemen — Airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s rebels hit a detention center in the southwestern province of Dhamar on Sunday, killing at least 60 people, officials and the rebels’ health ministry said.
Yemen’s bloody civil war erupted in September 2014, when the Houthis swept into the capital city of Sanaa. The Saudi-led coalition intervened half a year later to back the internationally recognized government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. The Saudi-led coalition said it had hit a Houthi military facility used as storages for drones and missiles in Dhamar, “in accordance with international humanitarian law.”Mohammed Abdul-Salam, spokesman for the Houthis, posted on his telegram account graphic photos that showed bodies under the rubble.
Local residents, however, said family members arrested for being critical of the Houthis were imprisoned in the detention center. They said at least seven airstrikes hit the area.
