The Houthi rebels of the Jemens claimed on Monday that a US air attack had made a prison with African migrants, with at least 68 people being killed and 47 others injured. The US military had no immediate comment.

The strike in the governor in Saada in Yemen, a stronghold for Houthis, is the recent incident in the country's decadelong war to kill African migrants from Ethiopia and other nations, risk, exceed the nation to work in neighboring Saudi Arabia.

Activists will probably also have questions about the American campaign, known as “Operation Rough Rider”, which aims at the rebels, while the Trump administration with its most important benefactor, the Iran, is quickly selected via Tehrans.

The central command of the US military in an explanation on the early Monday before the news broke about the alleged strike tried to defend his politics, not to offer specific details about its extensive Airangripe campaign. In America, the strikes have raised controversy in America about the use of the non -classified signal messaging app by Defense Minister Pete Hegseth for the publication of sensitive details about the attacks.

“In order to preserve operational security, we have deliberately restricted details about our ongoing or future operations,” said Central Command. “We are very conscious in our operational approach, but we will not reveal any details about what we have done or what we will do.”

On Monday, the military said that the central command was “aware of the claims of civilian victims in connection with the US strikes in Yemen, and we take these claims very seriously.”

“We are currently carrying out our assessment and examination of these claims in the slaughter damage,” added.

Graphical film material, which was broadcast by the al-Masirah satellite news channels of the Houthis, showed what seemed to be confessed and others seemed to be wounded at the location. The Ministry of the Interior operated in Houthi said that around 115 migrants were arrested at the location.

The rebels' civil protection organization said that at least 68 people were killed and 47 others were wounded in the attack.

On the film material analyzed by the AP suggested that there was a kind of explosion, with its cement walls of rubble fragments and the wounds suffered there.

The voice of a woman, soft in the film material, can repeat the beginning of a prayer in Arabic: “In the name of God.” An occasional shot rang when doctors wanted to help the wounded.

Ethiopians and other African migrants have ended up in Yemen for years and defy the nation torn by the war to try to achieve Saudi Arabia to work. The Houthi rebels allegedly deserve tens of thousands of dollars a week across the border.

Migrants from Ethiopia arrested, abused and even killed during the war in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. A letter dated October 3, 2022, which said “received” allegations of cross-border artillery scooping and small weapon fire, which were allegedly violated by Saudi security forces for a death of up to 430 and 650 migrants. ”

Saudi Arabia has denied killing migrants.

The alleged strike on Monday reminded of a similar strike by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia, which fought against the Houthis on the same site in 2022, which meant that a collapse killed 66 prisoners and 113 other wounded, according to a report by the United Nations later. The Houthis shot 16 prisoners who fled after the strike and wounded another 50 wounded, said the UN. The coalition led by Saudi Arabia tried to justify the strike by saying that the Houthis had built drones there and launched, but the UN said it was a prison.

“The coalition should have avoided any attack on this facility,” added the UN report.

This attack from 2022 was one of the most deadliest individual attacks in the years of war between the coalition and the Houthi rebels and came into VAE twice with rockets and drones and killed three in a strike near Abu Dhabis International Airport.

In the meantime, US air attacks killed at least eight people overnight to the capital of Jemens, said the Houthis. The American military recognized and carried out over 800 individual strikes in its monthly campaign.

In the explanation over the night of Central Command, “Operation Rough Rider” was also killed by Hunden from Houthi fighter and numerous Houthi leaders, including those who were connected to his rocket and drone program. None of these civil servants were identified.

“Iran undoubtedly continues to provide support for the Houthis,” says the explanation. “The Houthis can continue to attack our armed forces with the support of the Iranian regime.”

“We will continue to set up the pressure until the goal is achieved, which remains the restoration of freedom of navigation and American deterrence in the region,” he added.

The United States aims at Houthis because the group on shipping on the Red Sea, a crucial global trade route and Israel is crucial. The Houthis are also the last militant group in the self -described “axis of resistance” of Iran, which can attack Israel regularly.

The United States carried out the Yemen from its two aircraft carriers in the region of strikes – the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea and the USS Carl Vinson in the Arab Sea.

On April 18, an American strike killed at least 74 people on the port of Rasa Fuel and wounded 171 other people in the fatally known attack by the American campaign. The Central Command on Monday offered an explanation for why it hit the port.

“The US strikes have destroyed Rasa Port's ability to accept fuel, which influences Houthi's ability to carry out operations, but also to generate millions of dollars of income for their terrorist activities,” it said.

In the meantime, the Houthis have increasingly tried to control the flow of information from the territory that they keep in the outside world. A message was issued on Sunday that all those who have Starlink satellite internet -internet, the devices should quickly hand over to the authorities.

“A field campaign is implemented in coordination with the security authorities to arrest anyone who sells, acts, uses, works, installs or has,” warned the Houthis.

Starlink terminals were of crucial importance for Ukraine to combat the Russia's full invasion, and recipients were also smuggled into Iran
