A U.S. missile strike reportedly hit a migrant detention center in Saada, Yemen, killing at least 68 African migrants and injuring dozens. The attack's details, attributed to the Houthi-run outlet al-Masirah TV, suggest the facility housed over 100 migrants. U.S. Central Command has not confirmed the strike but has shifted to not disclosing specifics of military operations to safeguard operational security. Yemen remains a critical route for African migrants facing myriad risks, including war and human trafficking, with about 61,000 refugees currently in the country.
Yemen hosts approximately 61,000 refugees and asylum seekers, primarily from Somalia and Ethiopia, who face serious dangers on their perilous journey through the region.
The U.S. has not disclosed military operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen, aiming to maintain "operational security" amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises.
