U.S. Airstrikes on Yemeni Port Kill 74, Houthis Claim
(Financial Times-UK) Andrew England - After U.S. airstrikes on Thursday targeted Yemen's Ras Isa fuel port controlled by the Houthis, the Houthi-controlled health ministry on Friday said at least 74 people were killed and 171 were wounded in the attack. It was not possible to independently verify the claims. Since President Trump ordered intensified air strikes last month against the Houthis, CENTCOM has posted frequent video clips showing fighter jets taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, and saying the strike group is conducting round-the-clock operations against the Houthis.
