*One injured man could be heard calling out "My mother" in , 's official language, according to Reuters news agency.
At least 68 African migrants have been killed in a US air strike on a detention center in Houthi-controlled north-western Yemen, the armed group's TV channel says.
Al Masirah reported that another 47 migrants were injured, most of them critically, when the center in Saada province was bombed. It posted graphic footage showing multiple bodies covered in the rubble of a destroyed building.
There was no immediate comment from the US military.
But it came hours after US Central Command announced that its forces had hit more than 800 targets since President Donald Trump ordered an intensification of the air campaign against the Houthis on 15 March.
It said the strikes had "killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and numerous Houthi leaders", including senior officials overseeing missile and drone programs.
Houthi-run authorities have said the strikes have killed dozens of civilians, but they have reported few casualties among the group's members.
The migrant detention center in Saada was reportedly holding 115 Africans when it was hit four times shortly before 05:00 local time (02:00 GMT) on Monday, according to Al Masirah.
