Hundreds of People in Yemen Either Wounded or Killed after Saudi-Led Airstrikes

Hundreds of people in Yemen were either wounded or killed on Friday after Saudi-led airstrikes, the Associated Press reported.

At least 70 people were killed while over 100 were injured in the attack, Houthi rebels and rescuers told the AP. An estimate released by Doctors Without Borders placed the number of people wounded at “around 200” people.

The strike, which hit a rebel-run detention facility, was part of an intensifying aerial campaign by the Saudi-led coalition, which stepped up after the rebels, who are backed by Iran, claimed an attack on the United Arab Emirates on Monday, the AP reported. Yemen‘s capital, Sanaa, which has been held by the rebels since 2014, was also struck.
