News - Yemen: The Health Office in Hodeidah Governorate reported a rise in casualties from the US aggression targeting the Ras Issa oil facility in western Yemen, with at least 38 people martyred and more than 100 injured, according to a preliminary toll.

Late Thursday night, US forces committed a horrific massacre against civilians in Hodeidah Governorate, western Yemen.

Local sources told Al-Masirah Net that US warplanes carried out 14 airstrikes on the Ras Issa port, resulting in the martyrdom of several workers at the site.

The sources added that the site was targeted again while civil defense crews were attempting to rescue victims, leading to the martyrdom and injury of several emergency responders.

According to the Hodeidah Health Office, medical teams are making enormous efforts to treat those wounded and burned in the brutal US assault on the Ras Issa facility.

This latest US escalation has only worsened the humanitarian crisis for Yemeni civilians, as Washington fails to achieve a military victory and instead resorts to desperate pressure tactics to force Yemen to halt its support for Gaza.

The US air launched a campaign against Yemen began on March 15, 2025, following Yemen's decision to resume retaliatory attacks on Israel in response to Israel's intensified operations in Gaza. Since the initiation of the airstrikes, US forces have targeted civilian infrastructure throughout Yemen, including communication networks, power plants, and water reservoirs, on an almost daily basis.

Washington justifies its airstrikes by claiming they are aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the waters around Yemen. However, Yemen has rejected these claims, stating that its military operations are specifically directed against Israeli-linked vessels and not international shipping.

Human rights activists condemned the American massacre in Hodeidah as evidence of US failure and weakness, exposing the brutal face of both the US and Israel in the region.
