ADEN: At least 38 people were killed in air strikes on rebel-held security buildings in Yemen’s west, including a detention centre, an official said on Sunday.
The provincial official told AFP the bodies of 38 people were transported to hospitals in the port city of Hodeidah, which the Shiite Huthi rebels and their allies have held since late 2014.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not specify the number of prisoners who died in Saturday’s raids.
Most of the more than 40 inmates at the facility were opponents of the Huthi rebels, according to a military source close to the insurgents.
