Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Monday that an alleged US airstrike hit a prison holding African migrants and killed at least 30 people.

That’s according to the Houthis’ al-Masirah satellite news channel. There was no immediate independent confirmation of the death toll and the US military has not acknowledged conducting the strike in Yemen’s Saada governorate, a stronghold of the Houthis.

Some 100 prisoners were held at the site, the news channel said. Graphic footage aired by al-Masirah showed what appeared to be dead bodies and others wounded there.
