Yemen’s legitimate government and human rights activists in Sanaa are accusing Houthis of killing dozens of Ethiopian migrants after the Iran-backed militants set a detention center ablaze in the capital on Sunday.
Houthis burned down the center after the migrants refused to join their ranks.
The number of victims who died in the fire remains unknown, but activist sources are saying the figure exceeded 180.
“The incident left hundreds of African migrants killed or injured,” Yemeni Information Minister Muammar Al-Eryani confirmed in an official statement.
He exposed the Houthis for having the dead collectively buried in a new graveyard in an attempt to hide the crime.
Behrouz Kamalvandi said there were no injuries nor pollution caused by the incident
Iran later called the incident sabotage

Large explosions rocked the airport of Aden in Yemen on Wednesday, shortly after a plane carrying the country’s newly formed cabinet arrived from Saudi Arabia. At least 22 people were killed and 50 were wounded in the blast, officials reported.
Another explosion rocked the capital, close to the palace, where the new cabinet members were taken to, shortly after the airport explosion.
While the source of the explosion is not immediately clear and no group has claimed responsibility for attacking the airport, Information Minister Muammar al Eryani accused the Iranian-backed Houthi militia group of launching the attack. The Houthis have denied responsibility.
