US Airstrikes on Yemen’s Ras Isa Port Reportedly Martyr 33, Injure Dozens

Report By Safarti Tarjuman International Desk

At least 33 people were reportedly Martyr and over 80 injured following US airstrikes on the Ras Isa oil port in Yemen, according to Houthi-run media. If verified, it would be one of the deadliest incidents since Washington began its renewed military campaign targeting Houthi infrastructure on March 15.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the strikes on the oil facility, stating the goal was to cut off “illegal revenue” funding Houthi military operations. However, CENTCOM did not acknowledge any casualties in its official statement.

The Houthi-aligned Al-Masirah TV channel broadcast graphic footage of the aftermath, showing burned bodies and widespread destruction. The report claimed that civilian workers and paramedics were among the casualties, and large fires broke out following the strike.

This marks a significant escalation in the US military campaign against the Houthis, launched under President Donald Trump. The campaign, originally aimed at disabling missile launch sites, now reportedly includes strikes on urban areas and Houthi leadership targets.

The US State Department recently warned commercial entities against offloading oil at Houthi-controlled ports, threatening consequences for any support to designated terrorist organizations.

While Washington maintains the campaign is intended to safeguard regional stability, human rights groups have raised concerns about the humanitarian impact of continued airstrikes in a country already facing severe crises.
