The accusation by Doctors Without Borders comes after the military coalition denied any knowledge of the attack in northern Yemeni city of Saada, while acknowledging a raid elsewhere.

“There is no way to deny that this is an air strike, everyone in Saada City heard it,” an unnamed member of the agency, known by its French initials MSF, was quoted as saying in a statement late on Saturday.

“I live one kilometre (half a mile) from the prison and my house was shaking from the explosions.”
