The US military has destroyed a fuel terminal in Yemen's Red Sea port of Ras Isa, targeting the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The attack aimed to restrict supplies and funds for the Houthis, who have been attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea since the Israel-Gaza war began in October 2023. At least 33 people were killed, including paramedics, according to the Houthis, although the US has not commented on the death toll. The US has stepped up its attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen over the past month.

US air strikes on a key oil terminal on Yemen's Red Sea coast controlled by the Houthi movement have killed at least 58 people and wounded 126 others, according to Houthi-run media. The US military said the attack aimed to restrict supplies and funds for the Iran-backed Houthis, describing the terminal as a source of fuel for "Houthi terrorists". The Houthi-led government said the terminal was a civilian facility and that the attack was a "full-fledged war crime". The incident is one of the deadliest since US President Donald Trump ordered intensified bombing last month in response to Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping.

US airstrikes on the Ras Isa oil port held by Yemen's Houthi rebels killed 58 people and wounded 126 others, according to the Houthis. The strike represented a major escalation of the US campaign against the rebels, which began on March 15 under President Trump. The US Central Command said the strike aimed to "eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists" and deprive them of revenue. The Houthis and Iran denounced the attack as a "flagrant violation of Yemen's sovereignty" and a "barbaric" crime. The US also accused a Chinese satellite company of "directly supporting" Houthi attacks, which China did not immediately acknowledge.

US airstrikes on an oil port in western Yemen have killed at least 74 people and wounded 171 others, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. The strikes, which targeted the Ras Isa fuel port in Hodeidah province, were aimed at cutting off revenue to the Iran-backed Houthi group. The Houthis have vowed to continue their military operations against Israel and US forces in the region, saying the US "aggression" will "only lead to further targeting, engagement, and confrontation." The group has shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone and continued to launch missiles and drones at Israel and US navy ships, despite the US airstrikes.

The US carried out airstrikes on a port in Yemen's northwest, killing at least 38 people and injuring over 100, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. The strikes targeted the port of Ras Isa, a major fuel depot in the Houthi-controlled province of Hudaydah, as part of an escalating US campaign against the Iran-backed militia. The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea and firing rockets and drones at Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The US military said it targeted the port because fuel shipments were flowing in despite US sanctions, allowing the Houthis to receive revenue. The strikes have raised concerns about worsening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which the UN describes as the world's largest.
