AKIPRESS.COM - More than 100 people have been killed by Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen, the Red Cross has said, Sky news reports.

Bodies are being recovered from the rubble of a prison in Dhamar in the west of the country, the humanitarian organisation added.

One of those wounded, Nazem Saleh, said there were "maybe three, or four, or six strikes", adding that it happened when "we were sleeping around midnight".

The Saudi-led coalition - fighting the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels - said it hit a Houthi site storing drones and missiles, "in accordance with international humanitarian law".

It added that "all precautionary measures were taken to protect civilians". 

But residents and Houthi officials said the complex was being used as a detention centre.
