The US strikes on the Houthi-controlled oil port of Ras Isa on Friday morning, which it said were intended to cut the group off from a main source of revenue, will affect ordinary Yemenis rather then the rebels themselves,

The U.S. struck a fuel port in Yemen Thursday in an attack the Houthis said killed 74 people, as the Trump administration continues to attack the Houthis, a rebel group supported by Iran that was re-designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2024 over its attacks in the Red Sea.

US airstrikes targeting Ras Isa oil port in Yemen’s Al Hudaydah province late Thursday have killed at least 74 people, including five health workers, the Houthi group’s Al-Masirah TV channel reported Friday.
