US Bombs Yemeni Fuel Port

The US has lunached an air strike against a port in a territory controlled by the Houthis on the west coast of Yemen killing 74 people, accodring to the Yemeni group.

Based on another report, the death toll from US airstrikes on Yemen's fuel port of Ras Isa has risen to 80, with 150 other people wounded, Houthi-run health authorities reported early Saturday, APA reports citing Xinhua. The strikes took place Thursday night, targeting the port and several concrete tanks used for storing imported fuel. The victims are workers of the port, including five paramedics.

The port, northwest of Yemen's Red Sea city of Hodeidah, has been a main lifeline for importing fuel into the areas seized by the Houthi group. The group has controlled vast areas of northern Yemen since it started a civil war against the government in late 2014. The attack marks the deadliest since Washington resumed its airstrikes on Houthi targets in mid-March.
