Arab coalition air strike kills 45 in Yemen

SANAA -- Arab coalition warplanes struck a prison in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, killing 45 people including inmates, a local official, relatives and medical sources in the Houthi-controlled Red Sea port said on Sunday.

 

The prison in the city's al-Zaydiyah district was holding 84 prisoners when it was struck three times late on Saturday, the sources said.

  

There was no immediate comment from the coalition.

  

Speaking after meeting U.N. envoy Ismail Ould Cheickh Ahmed in Riyadh, Hadi said the agreement would "reward the rebels and penalise the Yemeni people and legitimacy", according to the government-controlled Saba news agency.

 

According to a copy of the proposal seen by Reuters, the plan would sideline Hadi and set up a government of less divisive figures.
