US Airstrike Reportedly Kills 68 Migrants in Yemen

A U.S. airstrike reportedly hit a migrant detention center in Saada, Yemen, killing at least 68 African migrants and injuring dozens more, according to Houthi officials and aid groups. The facility, located in a Houthi-controlled area, was housing over 100 African migrants at the time. Human rights organizations and journalists have verified the aftermath through video evidence, but U.S. Central Command has not commented on the specific incident and recently stated it would no longer disclose details of its operations in Yemen. The strike is part of a broader U.S. military campaign that has conducted over 800 strikes in Yemen since mid-March, with mounting concerns from rights groups about increasing civilian casualties. Similar attacks on migrant centers have occurred in the past, notably a 2022 Saudi-led strike on the same compound. The incident has intensified scrutiny over U.S. actions in Yemen and raised questions about compliance with international humanitarian law.
