RIYADH – The Arab Coalition held on Tuesday a constructive meeting with the United Nations Resident Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen, William David Grisley, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

They exchanged information that pertains to allegations of targeting a prison in Yemen’s Saada last month.

An investigation launched by the Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT) on the alleged targeted prison strike by the Arab Coalition has revealed the location to be a “Special Security Camp in Saada, which is a legitimate military target.”

Brigadier General Turki Al-Malki, the official spokesperson of the Coalition, had slammed the allegations and said “They are part of a blatant attempt to mislead the public opinion regarding the true nature of the location in an attempt to garner sympathy from UN organizations and INGOs.”

The closest prison is located 1.8 kilometers away from the claimed location, Al-Malki said. – SG
