Arab coalition warplanes struck a prison in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, killing 45 people including inmates. The prison in the city's al-Zaydiyah district was holding 84 prisoners when it was struck three times late saturday. <br/><br/>The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels since March 2015 to try to restore to office internationally-recognised President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who was sidelined from power by the Iranian-allied group in 2014.<br/><br/>At least 17 civilians were killed in the southwestern province of Taiz Saturday by a coalition air strike that struck a house. The exiled Hadi rejected a U.N. peace proposal to end the turmoil saying the deal would only be a path to more war and destruction.<br/><br/>Speaking after meeting U.N. envoy Ismail Ould Cheickh Ahmed in Riyadh, Hadi said the agreement would reward the rebels and penalise the Yemeni people and legitimacy.
