The UN has condemned an airstrike on a detention centre in northern Yemen as the death toll rose to more than 80.
The Saudi-led coalition denied reports that it had bombed the prison in a statement on Saturday morning.
The strikes on rebel-held parts of Yemen came after a drone attack on Monday in Abu Dhabi for which the Houthi leadership claimed responsibility.
