Houthi rebels in Yemen accuse the U.S. of an airstrike on a prison holding African migrants, resulting in at least 68 deaths and 47 injuries. The U.S. military hasn't confirmed the strike, maintaining its policy of limited operational detail disclosure regarding Operation Rough Rider. This incident, following a similar 2022 attack, raises concerns about civilian casualties in the ongoing Yemen conflict. The U.S. defends its strikes as targeting Houthi fighters and infrastructure, impacting their operations and revenue. The Houthis also confiscated Starlink satellite internet receivers, aiming to control information flow.
