Red Cross: Yemen prison airstrike killed, injured over 100

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Saudi-led airstrike targeting a prison run by Yemen s Houthi rebels killed and wounded over 100 detainees on Friday, rescuers said, part of a pounding aerial offensive that hours earlier saw another airstrike take the Arab world's poorest country off the internet.

A strike in the port city of Hodeida, later confirmed by satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press, hit a telecommunication center there that's key to Yemen's connection to the internet. Airstrikes also hit near Sanaa Yemen's capital held by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels since late 2014.
