Sanaa: US military airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, have resulted in the deaths of dozens of people and has left many more injured, according to reports from Houthi-affiliated media, Al Jazeera reported.

The attacks claimed the lives of at least eight individuals around the city, while a separate strike on a migrant detention centre killed at least 68, Houthi media stated on Monday.

A later report by the Houthi-affiliated media, Al Masirah TV satellite news channel, showed graphic footage and said that 68 people had been killed when a migrant detention centre was hit in the strikes on Saada.

The facility was housing roughly 100 individuals from Ethiopia and other African nations, who had been detained while attempting to pass through Yemen in hopes of finding work in Saudi Arabia. On April 18, a US strike on Yemen’s Ras Isa fuel port had killed at least 74 people and wounded 171 others in the deadliest-known attack to date by the US on Yemen, according to Al Jazeera.

Meanwhile, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) revealed that it has launched over 800 targeted strikes against the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen since March 15, aiming to restore “freedom of navigation and reinforce American deterrence.” (ANI)
