The death toll from a U.S. airstrike on a detention centre for migrants in Yemen’s northern Saada province has risen to 74, according to the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV.

Citing Yemen’s civil defence authorities, Al Masirah reported that an additional 47 people were wounded in the attack. The facility housed African migrants, and the strike has sparked outrage among local and international humanitarian organizations.

Details about the circumstances of the strike are still emerging, and there has been no immediate comment from U.S. officials regarding the reported casualties. Rescue efforts are ongoing, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
