The death toll from the American aggression on the Ras Issa oil port in Hodeidah province, has risen to 74, with 171 wounded, with a provisional toll, according to the ministry of health in Sana’a.
The port was severely damaged on Thursday after a series of bombings by the United States, marking one of the most severe escalations in the American military aggression against Yemen in recent weeks.
According to local sources, US warplanes carried out 14 attacks on the Ras Issa port, resulting in the martyrdom of several workers at the site.
The sources added that the site was targeted again while civil defense crews were attempting to rescue victims, leading to the martyrdom and injury of several emergency responders.
According to the Hodeidah Health Office, medical teams are making enormous efforts to treat those wounded and burned in the brutal US assault on the Ras Issa facility.
This latest US escalation has only worsened the humanitarian crisis for Yemeni civilians, as Washington fails to achieve a military victory and instead resorts to desperate pressure tactics to force Yemen to halt its support for Gaza.
The US launched an air campaign against Yemen, beginning on March 15, 2025, following Yemen’s decision to resume retaliatory attacks on Israel in response to Israel’s intensified crimes in Gaza.
Since the initiation of the air campaign, US forces have targeted civilian infrastructure throughout Yemen, including communication networks, power plants, and water reservoirs, on an almost daily basis.
