Reuters was able to verify the location & timing of the aftermath video through visible landmarks, such as a warehouse-like building with a shredded corrugated roof; satellite images of the same location the previous day had shown the roof intact.
The location matched that of a #migrant centre that had also been hit in a previous Saudi-led airstrike in 2022.
The deadliest #US strike on #Yemen so far came this month w/ an attack on a fuel terminal on the Red Sea that killed at least 74 people.

Corpses covered in dust & debris were scattered in the wreckage of a detention centre for #African migrants in Yemen, after what #Houthi-controlled TV described on Mon as a US airstrike that killed 68 people.
The attack was one of the deadliest so far in 6 wks of intensified US airstrikes against the #Houthis, an #Iran-aligned group that has struck shipping in the Red Sea in solidarity w/ #Palestinians.

#MonmothME #resists! #Monmouth #police department withdraws #ICE training application
Residents packed the Monmouth Board of Selectmen meeting Wednesday to speak out against the town's police department taking on the role of enforcing federal #immigration laws.
by Emily Duggan, Kennebec Journal, April 17, 2025
MONMOUTH — "After dozens of residents voiced opposition, the police department has withdrawn its application for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program that allows local law enforcement agencies to work with the federal agency to enforce federal immigration laws.
"Police Chief Paul Ferland said he was seeking the training so his officers would know what to do if they come across people who are in the United States illegally.
"In the past year or so, Monmouth officers have called the U.S. Border Patrol about a dozen times, each time with questions about legal rights, when to detain someone and how to not violate someone’s constitutional rights.
"Each instance can take hours, Ferland said, as officers wait for federal agents to arrive from wherever they are stationed. Once the agents arrive, they check for the person’s immigration status and whether they may have an upcoming court date. If not, the officers can issue a date.
"The southwest Kennebec County town is home to a number of businesses, including #agricultural businesses that employ #migrant workers.
"Ferland announced the department’s withdrawal from the program Wednesday at the town’s Board of Selectmen meeting, which was packed with residents both in person and on Zoom who turned out mostly to speak against the move.
"Because Ferland is also the chief of the Winthrop Police Department, that town is also withdrawing, he said.
" 'When I saw how this is dividing the community, it’s not what I want. It’s not what our officers want. Our community is our community, it’s our home. The officers love their community, and we are not here to divide it. That is one of the reasons why I pulled the application. Not the only, but the biggest,' Ferland said.
"Following an executive order signed by President Donald #Trump, police departments from 38 states have applied to be a part of ICE’s 287 (g) program, including the #WellsPoliceDepartment, which according to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement data is the only #Maine police agency that is currently taking part."
