US Airstrikes Target Houthi-Controlled Oil Port in Yemen, Causing Significant Casualties

Recent US airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled Ras Isa oil port in Yemen have resulted in heavy casualties, with reports from Houthi sources indicating at least 38 deaths and over 100 injuries. The United States military claims that these strikes are part of an ongoing campaign to combat Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran. Despite the escalating conflict, the UAE and Saudi Arabia have denied their involvement in discussions regarding a potential ground offensive in Yemen. The situation continues to develop, as American forces aim to dismantle the Houthi supply lines, while Yemeni forces consider a major assault against Houthi positions.
