US strikes on Yemen oil terminal kill at least 74, Houthis say

By our Special Correspondent

US air strikes on a key oil terminal on Yemen's Red Sea coast controlled by the Houthi movement have killed at least 74 people and wounded 171 others, the Houthi-run health ministry says.

The US military said it had destroyed Ras Isa "to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue".

The Houthi-led government in north-west Yemen said the terminal was a civilian facility and that the strikes constituted a "war crime".
