Tragedy in Yemen: Suspected US Airstrike Targets Migrant Detention Center

 

A suspected U.S. airstrike has struck a detention center for African migrants in Yemen's Saada governorate, reportedly killing at least 68 people and injuring 47 others. The facility, located in a region controlled by Houthi rebels, housed over 100 undocumented migrants, many of whom were seeking refuge or passage to neighboring Saudi Arabia.

Graphic footage aired by Houthi-run media depicted the aftermath of the strike, showing bodies amidst rubble and survivors calling out in distress.

This attack is part of a broader campaign targeting Houthi forces, who have intensified their activities in the Red Sea, claiming solidarity with Palestinians.

Rights advocates and lawmakers have called for accountability and transparency in military operations. The tragedy underscores the perilous journey faced by migrants in the region, as well as the ongoing complexities of Yemen's conflict.
