38 Killed in US Strikes On Yemen’s Ras Isa Oil Port, Israel Downs Houthi ‘Revenge’ Missiles

US strikes on a Yemeni fuel port killed at least 38 people, Houthi rebels said Friday (April 18), in one of the deadliest attacks of Washington's renewed campaign against the Iran-backed group.
The strikes also injured more than 100 people, according to a Houthi-run television station that broadcast footage of large blazes lighting up the night sky.
The US military said its overnight attack on the Ras Issa fuel port aimed to cut off a source of supplies and funds for the Houthis, who control large swathes of the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country.
"Thirty-eight workers and employees killed and 102 others injured in a preliminary toll of the US aggression on the Ras Issa oil facility," Al-Masirah TV said, quoting health authorities in rebel-held Hodeida.
The US military has hammered the Huthis with near-daily air strikes since March 15 in a bid to end their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
