US Airstrikes on Yemen Port Kill Dozens

US airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled Ras Isa oil port in Yemen killed between 58 and 74 people and injured over 100, making it the deadliest attack since the US campaign against the Iran-backed group began in March. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated the strikes aimed to disrupt Houthi fuel supplies and revenue, denying civilian harm was intended. Graphic footage confirmed civilian casualties, including paramedics and port workers, while Yemeni authorities condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty. The Houthis said their ongoing attacks on Red Sea shipping are in support of Gaza, as the US and its allies continue retaliatory operations to secure maritime trade. Humanitarian organizations warned that the targeted port is critical for Yemen's imports and delivery of aid, raising fears of increased civilian suffering. Iran and other regional actors condemned the strikes as destabilizing and aggressive.
