WASHINGTON
The US sent 11 Yemeni detainees from its detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Oman, the Pentagon announced Monday.
"The United States appreciates the willingness of the Government of Oman and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing the Guantanamo Bay facility," it said in a statement.
In 2023, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin notified Congress of his intent to support this repatriation.
According to the statement, 15 detainees, three of which are eligible for transfer, remain at Guantanamo Bay.
