London [UK], April 29: Amnesty International has called for a United States air strike on a migrant detention centre in Yemen to be investigated as a possible war crime.
In a report released on Tuesday, the rights group said the strike on April 28, 2025, hit a detention facility in Saada in northwestern Yemen, killing at least 68 detainees and injuring 47. The detention centre had operated for years as part of a larger prison complex and had previously been visited by representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations, who found no evidence the compound was being used for military purposes.
Amnesty said survivors interviewed nearly one year after the strike were still suffering serious physical and psychological harm.
