Yemen, Apr 28: Yemen’s Houthi rebels have accused the United States of carrying out an airstrike on a prison in Saada governorate, which reportedly killed at least 30 people, many of whom were African migrants. The attack is said to have targeted a facility where approximately 100 prisoners were being held.
The claims were made by the Houthis' al-Masirah satellite news channel, which broadcast graphic footage showing what appeared to be dead and wounded individuals. However, the death toll and the details of the incident have not been independently verified, and the U.S. military has not confirmed any involvement in the strike.
The prison is located in Saada, a region known as a stronghold of the Houthi rebels, who are embroiled in a long-running conflict with the Yemeni government and its Saudi-led coalition allies. The incident highlights the continued volatility and complexity of the ongoing war in Yemen, where both humanitarian concerns and military actions often overlap, leading to significant casualties among civilians, including migrants.
As of now, further investigations are needed to ascertain the exact nature of the attack and the parties responsible.
