Yemeni officials say airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition hit a detention centre in the southwestern Dhamar province, killing at least 52 people.
The officials say the airstrikes took place Sunday and targeted a university in the city of Dhamar, which the Houthi rebels use as a detention centre.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorised to brief the media.
The Houthi-run Health Ministry said many of the wounded, over 50, and dead were captured government fighters.
The Saudi-led coalition says it was targeting storage for drones and missiles.
The Saudi-led coalition has been battling the rebels on behalf of an internationally recognised government since 2015 in a war that has killed tens of thousands of people.
