Al Jazeera
Reported death toll marks one of the deadliest attacks by the United States military on Yemen.
Air strikes by the United States on Yemen’s Ras Isa oil port have killed at least 38 people in what is one of the deadliest attacks on the country by US forces, Houthi-affiliated media report.
Al Masirah TV said the strikes on Thursday also wounded 102 people, citing the country’s Hodeidah Health Office.
The US military said strikes are being carried out to cut off a source of fuel for Houthi fighters.
“The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen,” the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a post on social media.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the death toll given by the Houthis.
