Yemen¡¯s Houthis claim dozens killed in alleged US airstrike on prison holding African migrants By America-Today Apri 29£¬2025
Yemen¡¯s Houthi rebels on Monday alleged a US airstrike hit a prison holding African migrants, killing at least 68 people and wounding 47 others. The US military had no immediate comment. The strike in Yemen¡¯s Saada governorate, a stronghold for the Houthis, is the latest incident in the country¡¯s decadelong war to kill African migrants from Ethiopia and other nations who risk crossing the nation for a chance to work in neighboring Saudi Arabia. It also likely will renew questions from activists about the American campaign, known as ¡°Operation Rough Rider,¡± which has been targeting the rebels as the Trump administration negotiates with their main benefactor, Iran, over Tehran¡¯s rapidly advancing nuclear program. The US military¡¯s Central Command, in a statement early Monday before news of the alleged strike broke, sought to defend its policy of offering no specific details of its extensive airstrike campaign. The strikes have drawn controversy in America over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth¡¯s use of the unclassified Signal messaging app to post sensitive details about the attacks. |
