Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of killing seven in Yemen prison air strike
Houthi-run media outlet released footage of destruction after alleged Saudi air strike on al-Hazm prison.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out an air strike on a prison in the northern city of al-Hazm, killing seven people, including a child.
The strike on the Central Corrective Facility in al-Jawf province, on the Yemeni side of the border with Saudi Arabia, also wounded at least seven people, including a woman, Anees al-Asbahi, a spokesperson for the Houthi-run Health Ministry, said on Monday.
The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV channel aired footage it said showed the aftermath of the alleged attack, including a collapsed building and people searching through the rubble.
Saree also claimed that the Houthis had shot down four Saudi reconnaissance drones over the previous 24 hours, including a CH-4 drone that he said was carrying out “hostile missions” in al-Jawf.
