A US air strike on Yemen hit a prison holding African migrants, killing at least 68 people and wounding 47, the country’s Houthi government said today

The US military did not acknowledge carrying out the strike in Saada governorate, a stronghold of the Houthis.

Graphic footage aired by the Houthis’ al-Masirah satellite news channel showed what appeared to be dead bodies and wounded people at the site. The Interior Ministry said that some 115 migrants had been held there.
