At least 70 people were killed in an air strike on a prison as Yemen's long-running conflict suffered a dramatic escalation Friday that drew condemnation from UN chief Antonio Guterres.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a statement Friday called for "all parties to the conflict to de-escalate" and "abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law" after the Yemen strike and the attack on the Emirati capital.
