Airstrikes kill at least 70, knock out internet in Yemen

Airstrikes believed to have come from a coalition led by Saudi Arabia reportedly killed an estimated 70 people and injured at least 138 others Friday at a prison in northern Yemen.

The strike took place in Saada, a northern city near the country's border with Saudi Arabia, Doctors Without Borders said. Another airstrike earlier Friday is believed to have hit a telecommunications facility in the city of Hodeida and cut off internet connection in most of the country, according to NetBlocks, which monitors global network disruptions.

"From what I hear from my colleague in Saada, there are many bodies still at the scene of the airstrike, many missing people. It is impossible to know how many people have been killed. It seems to have been a horrific act of violence," said Ahmed Mahat, who leads the MSF mission in Yemen.
