74 killed in US airstrikes on Yemeni oil port, say Houthis
Dubai: Yemen’s Houthi rebels announced on Friday that 74 people have been killed and 171 others injured in a series of US airstrikes targeting an oil terminal in the country. The strikes, which occurred around midnight, caused extensive damage, igniting fuel trucks and lighting up the night sky with massive fireballs, according to Houthi officials.
The Health Ministry in the rebel-held capital of Sanaa released the casualty figures, describing the attack as one of the deadliest since the US resumed its airstrike campaign in the region. This campaign, which began on March 15 under President Donald Trump, has drawn significant international scrutiny.
Despite the reported toll, the United States Central Command declined to comment on potential civilian casualties resulting from the operation.
The attack marks a severe escalation in the conflict, with humanitarian groups warning of deepening crises amid fuel shortages and rising civilian deaths.
