US strike hits detention centre in Yemen, kills 68
A US air strike hit a detention centre in the northern Saada province of Yemen, killing at least 68 individuals and leaving 47 others with injuries, Middle East Eye via the Yemen media outlet Al Masirah TV reported on April 28th.
The centre was used by African migrants and was targeted due to the US military campaign against areas controlled by the Houthis. It has been established over a long period that Saada has been regarded as a bastion of the Houthis and has in the past been targeted by US strikes.
According to the Yemeni Ministry of the Interior, the centre was housing 115 migrants from Africa at the time of the attack.
