Iran Raps Deadly Saudi Bombing of Yemeni Detention Center
Seyed Abbas Mousavi on Sunday condemned the attack, describing it as the latest war crime committed by the coalition.
He added that these crimes are committed using weapons made in the US and some other Western countries, stressing that those countries are held responsible by the Yemeni people for the crimes.
According to a Yemeni official, at least 60 people were killed in Sunday's air raids which hit a complex used as a detention center north of Dhamar city.
Fifty people were wounded, Yusuf al-Hadri, a spokesman for Yemen’s ministry of health, told Al Masirah TV, adding that 185 prisoners of war were being held overall at the Dhamar Community College.
In a statement carried on Saudi state television, the coalition claimed it had launched air raids on military targets in Dhamar and destroyed a site storing drones and missiles.
The Western-backed coalition, which has come under intense criticism by rights groups for air attacks that have killed civilians, said it had taken measures to protect civilians in Dhamar and the assault complied with international law.
