SADAA, YEMEN (Worthy News) – Paramedics were seen carrying the injured from a prison in Yemen’s province of Sadaa after Houthi rebels said at least 68 people were killed in a U.S. airstrike on the detention facility.
The alleged attack on the prison holding raised fresh questions over U.S. military operations in the region, critics said.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels also claimed that 47 people were injured in the U.S. strike on the detention center holding African migrants in the central city of Saada.
The rebel group, which governs north-west Yemen, said the shelter was under the supervision of the International Organization for Migration and the Red Cross, and targeting it “constitutes a full-fledged war crime.” The U.S. military had no immediate comment.
The U.S. has been conducting near-daily strikes against the Iranian-backed group since March 15 in an operation dubbed “Rough Rider,” seeking to end the threat it poses to vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The Houthis started targeting Israeli and Western vessels in the Red Sea in October 2023, in what they describe as solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The latest Houthi attack, on Saturday, targeted Israel’s Nevatim airbase with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile. The missile was shot down by Israeli defenses, officials said.
