Zitat:US strikes on Yemen oil terminal kill at least 74, Houthis sayhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clywg335680o
US air strikes on a key oil terminal on Yemen's Red Sea coast controlled by the Houthi movement have killed at least 74 people and wounded 171 others, the Houthi-run health ministry says.
The US military said it had destroyed Ras Isa "to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue". The Houthi-led government in north-west Yemen said the terminal was a civilian facility and that the strikes constituted a "war crime". [...]
Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV reported that 14 air strikes hit Ras Isa late on Thursday. Videos posted online purportedly showed several explosions, large fires and destroyed fuel tankers at the facility, which is about 60km (35 miles) north of the Red Sea city of Hudaydah.

"Today, US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Houthi efforts to terrorize the entire region for over 10 years," U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
The strike hit at least two different locations in Ras Isa, triggering large secondary explosions. Houthi media outlets have reported that more than two dozen people were killed in the blasts. In a statement, the Houthi leadership accused the U.S. of "direct targeting of the entire Yemeni people" and called the port "a vital civilian facility." Central Command did not discuss casualty numbers, but emphasized that the goal of the strike was not to harm Yemeni civilians.
