Hodida: The Hessey rebels went on strike Friday amid the deaths of at least 80 people on Yemen’s fuel port.
The U.S. military said Thursday’s strike against RAS ISA was intended to reduce supplies and funding for rebels that control a large number of the poorest countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
Images aired by the TV channel run by Huthi show the latest attack on the night sky in an attack led by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Huthi Media then held a new strike in and around the capital Sanaa on Friday night.
Huthi Ministry of Health spokesman Anees Alasbahi said rescuers are still searching for bodies from the Red Sea fuel terminal, suggesting the death toll may increase.
The Al-Masirah TV of the insurgents was cited by local officials, who said the losses from the strike had “dead to 80 people and 150 were injured”.
Hetis then announced missile attacks against Israel and two U.S. aircraft carriers. Israel’s military said on Friday it intercepted a missile launched in Yemen.
Protesters shouted “Death to the United States! Death to Israel!” Gathered in rebel-controlled cities across the country, including a large demonstration in the capital Sanaa.
Huthi military spokesman Yahya Saree told the Sanaa crowd.
“Send a signal to Tehran”
Thursday’s strike comes amid the United States preparing to negotiate with Iran on its nuclear plan in Rome, after warning that Tehran is getting closer to building atomic weapons.
“The military operations in Yemen are clearly sending a signal to Tehran,” Mohammed Albasha, a U.S.-based adviser, told AFP.
Over the past month, the U.S. military has defeated Hamm the Hamm with nearly daily air strikes to expose their attacks on transport in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Earlier Friday, when Ras Issa Toll stood at 74, Alabasi said the total death toll from U.S. strikes has been 198 since March.
Rebels claimed solidarity with the Palestinians, and after the war in Gaza began in October 2023, the rebels began attacking major maritime routes and Israeli territory.
They suspended the attack during the ceasefire in the last two months.
“The U.S. military has taken action to eliminate this fuel source of Iran-backed Hessey terrorists and deprive them of illegal income for terrorists for more than 10 years,” the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
The port authorities quoted Al-Masirah TV as saying the attack had caused “significant damage” and “affected navigation and oil supply.”
The U.S. strike began in January 2024, but multiplied by Trump, starting with an offensive that killed 53 people on March 15.
Earlier on Friday, videos from Al-Masirah broadcast showed a fireball burning on the shore and thick smoke rose, which seemed to be a constant fire.
Hughes TV later interviewed survivors lying on stretchers, including a burned man.
“We ran away. Strikes one after another and then everything caught fire,” said a man, who said he worked in the port.
Transportation Attack
Israel carried out air strikes on Ras Issa and other parts of Yemen in January, describing the target as military infrastructure. A similar Israeli strike occurred in September, including Ras Issa.
Iran calls the latest strike “barbarians” while Hamas Palestinian militants denounce them as “blatant aggression.”
U.S. bombing campaigns have intensified in protest against Israeli aid to Gaza after Hossi threatened to resume international transport attacks.
“Today’s message is clear: The United States is targeting not only Hosey’s military assets and personnel, but also its economic infrastructure,” Albasha said.
Huthi’s attack on the Red Sea route, which usually accounts for about 12% of global trade, forced many companies to fall into expensive detours around the tip of southern Africa.
In addition, U.S. State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce accused Chinese satellite company Chang Guang satellite technology of “directly supporting” Huthi’s attack on “US interests.”
Bruce initially provided no details, but later mentioned “a Chinese company that provided satellite images to Hess”.
