U.S. Airstrike Kills 68 African Migrants Jailed in Yemen; 800 U.S. Strikes Since March 15

HeadlineApr 28, 2025

At least 68 African migrants have been killed in a U.S. airstrike in Yemen. Houthi media outlets report the U.S. bombed a detention center in the western province of Saada. Another 47 migrants were injured in the attack. A separate U.S. attack killed at least eight people in Sana’a. The Pentagon says it had carried out 800 strikes on Yemen since March 15 after Houthi fighters vowed to resume targeting ships in the Red Sea in an attempt to pressure Israel to end its war and blockade on Gaza.
