Aid group says death toll from Yemen prison airstrike at 87


An aid group says workers in war-wrecked Yemen have recovered five more bodies from the rubble of a prison facility hit by a Saudi-led coalition airstrikeCAIRO -- Workers in war-wrecked Yemen recovered five more bodies from the rubble of a prison facility hit by a Saudi-led coalition airstrike, bringing the death toll to at least 87, an international aid group said Sunday. Internet access, meanwhile, remained largely down after another Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a telecommunications center Friday at the Red Sea port city of Hodeida, according to advocacy group NetBlocks. He said 266 people were wounded in the airstrike during an intense air and ground escalation in the country’s civil war. The Saudi-led coalition, backed at the time by the U.S., entered the war months later to try restoring the government to power. Late Sunday, a Houthi ballistic missile landed in an industrial area in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, slightly wounding a foreigner, the Saudi-led coalition said according to the state-run news agency.
