We hit us at the port of Oil Red Sea Oil
On April 19, the USA attacked the Yemeni oil port controlled by Houthis overnight and killed dozens of people, Bloomberg informed.
According to the Bloomberg report, the attack on the terminal of Ras Issa Fuel-Import seemed to be one of the largest and deadliest, because US President Donald Trump ordered an air campaign against Houthis in mid-March. The strikes have not yet been able to stop Houthi’s naval attacks in the Red Sea and missile attacks on Israel, which caused the US military to consider the support of ground offensive in the Yemeni factions.
